Guys, you all may not be fooled into thinking that the load speed is faster from any of the tricks mentioned in the article, but most users are not like you guys. They're not developers, they don't think like you do.

I think it's pretty rude to assume that users are so stupid, just because they don't code, that they can't notice being tricked.
