Do Users Scroll? – People Don't Scroll

  • This website does >100 requests and weighs 1.1MB compressed. What a waste of bandwidth and resources.

  • People love to scroll. Don't annoy them by using fixed headers: http://zichy.de/public/siufh.html.

  • They don't when the page wants to load 8 different external scripts, 5 different tracking beacons, 13 things automatically blocked by uBlock Origin, and then even when you enable all scripts it still just says "Yes they do."

  • Theres a great article on UXMyths discussing the myth that users don't scroll: http://uxmyths.com/post/654047943/myth-people-dont-scroll

  • Well this was confusing. I wouldn't consider my monitor to be particularly large or high res (Apple 27, 2560 x 1440) and I didn't have to scroll to see the 'Yes they do' message

  • there's no need to scroll, all the noscript errors fit on one page.

  • It's pretty easy to miss the joke when on a portrait monitor...

  • But what about mobile devices that have no visible scroll bars?

  • Charlie don't scroll!

  • Betteridge's law, despite the cute little thing at the bottom.

    I actually closed the window the first time, because it looked like the site had just failed. Then I suspected a self-referential joke and there it was. So a funny once, otherwise no.

  • What's the point of injecting all these scripts for such a simple website?
