Modern CSS: The End of SPAs?

This article critiques the overuse of Single-Page Applications (SPAs). The author argues that modern browsers now offer native CSS transition capabilities (View Transitions API and Speculation Rules), enabling smooth page transitions without needing extensive JavaScript. SPAs often lead to performance issues, such as slow loading times, inconsistent scroll behavior, and SEO challenges. The author advocates returning to HTML and CSS, leveraging native browser features to build faster, more efficient, and SEO-friendly Multi-Page Applications (MPAs), avoiding the performance and maintainability sacrifices often made for the sake of an 'app-like' feel.
