I am a CS major (I just started) and I noticed that the site is very smooth and quick to load. What languages make up this site?

Very common languages and markup like PHP, Javascript, HTML, CSS.
We have a good server, that is optimized and uses a lot of caching. We also use a CDN.

And it's probably better than you realize. Another forum where I spend a small amount of time uses exactly the same base software as PF uses but the work spent on configuring things is way less and it shows.Fancypen said:Interesting! It's a very enjoyable experience exploring a clean looking/working website.
Thank you
The computer languages that make up this site are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to create web pages. It is used to structure the content of a webpage and includes elements for text, images, links, and other multimedia.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a style sheet language used to control the presentation of a webpage. It is used to define the layout, colors, fonts, and other visual aspects of a webpage.
JavaScript is a scripting language that is used to create interactive and dynamic elements on a webpage. It is often used to add functionality, validate forms, and create animations on a webpage.
These languages are used for this site because they are the standard languages used for creating and designing webpages. HTML provides the structure, CSS provides the style, and JavaScript adds interactivity to the site.
