I always view the source of websites like this and this is one of the worst I've seen. 217 lines of code (including inline Javascript?!) and a Google tag for some reason, all to put the word YES in green on black.
Agreed, could be static HTML and a GIF.
Thanks, I won't click that link.
this made me mad so i made a single, ultra minimal html page in 5 minutes that you can just paste in your url box
source code:
Your website no longer uses DNS invalidating its use as a diagnostic tool lmao
Did not think of doing that.
I guess i never expected anyone to have a fcking JavaScript on a simple page as that
How else would you center a div??

I just did the same f'ing thing and came here to write your comment!
well done.

There have been 209 versions of that site

it predated AI, but likely seems to have had some AI cleanup.
If it was truly just vibecoded, the comments would usually be on every element.
