Working example
Live figures
Some figures are the same for everyone: a price, a count, the newest block. The site reads each one once and shows it on every open page, so a crowd costs no more than one visitor.

Counted once for everyone, when someone posts.
What stays yours
Anything that differs from person to person, like your balance or what you may see, is still read for you alone.
A live figure never holds up a wallet button. If it falls behind, every button still works.
