2 out of 4 have analytics (not "all of those (except [the last one]"), and none of them use jQuery.



- https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ => GA

- http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ => GA

- https://thebestmotherfucking.website/ => Plausible + jQuery

- https://perfectmotherfuckingwebsite.com/ => No JS included

So 3/4 have analytics, + one with jQuery.

Tested by looking at requests made in the network inspector of the browser developer tools.

You're right. My adblocker blocked it, so I didn't spot it. What I said about jQuery, however, is still true.

> - https://thebestmotherfucking.website/ => Plausible + jQuery

Wrong—this one doesn't use jQuery, and none of the others do, either.


Yeah, you're right about jQuery. I got fooled because the page is loading the following URL:

> https://thebestmotherfucking.website/js/jquery-3.5.1.min.js

But the response to that request is not an actual copy of jQuery, which it seems when you just look at the URL, but the following body instead:

    /* NO, really, NOBODY NEEDS TO INCLUDE A FUCKING FRAMEWORK TO MAKE A COOL WEBSITE. */
    console.log("Don't worry, no jQuery was used in this website.");
    var $ = function () { $.fancyRainbow = $; $.html = $; return $ }
I got fooled by it, should have verified it was actually jQuery I guess. Now the other comment about jQuery (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33020599) kind of makes sense, almost.


And the jQuery it pulls isn't even gzipped or otherwise encoded! Although at least it's minified.


Does anyone have a day-to-day use blog/site that passes all the tests like this?


I've heard news.ycombinator.com is pretty great when it comes to good readability, UX and being lightweight :)
