Thanks for asking! I’m using a T440 thinkpad with 8gbs of ram. I’m not planing to upgrade the specs as it is my backup linux machine. I would like to be able to use it in the optimal way possible.
Pretty much anything, from your Desktop Environment to the simplest application running in the background, will have way more of an impact than pretty much any semistatic website. I'm curious, what do you mean with "in the optimal way possible"? Are you constantly maxing out your RAM already, and if so, how?
I think restricting yourself to certain website for optimisation isn't necessary.
It is like saying you would avoid driving a city car to the motorway because it is more efficient on city roads.
