*Excluding insane stuff like 3D web games, or running your website on a commadore VIC-20.
Grab an old mid 2000s computer/laptop, upgrade the ram in it, upgrade the cpu if its a Celeron D, and install a copy of modern linux and firefox on it.
You want to aim for something like a Dimension 2400. Athlon XP/64 and netburst era. Perhaps PowerPC G4/G5 era too.
NEVER THE CELERON D THOUGH, YOU WILL WANT TO JUMP OF A CLIFF.
If your website runs like crap on it, your website is coded like crap. Go back and optimize it more. No excuses.
Well, unless your programming something like an image editor or game. Though, it wouldn’t hurt to optimize your web game/photoshop alternative to run on an old 2005 machine.
I personally do my coding on a Dell Inspiron 700m to ensure my code will run on even a potato chip.
Lol, im probably sounding like Richard Stallman right now. Man, fuck that guy.
Hey! I have 16GB on my machine and it is plenty enough so long as I give it 20 minutes or so to start up properly, don’t try to open too many windows at once and stay away from modern games and doing anything like sound editing or using modern graphics software!
