Details

The warning that appears on the console when you use synchronous XMLHttpRequest reads:

Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user’s experience. For more help http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/

The link to the XHR spec is more confusing than explanatory to the typical web developer. Linking to https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/#sync-warning might help, but it seems best to instead link to the MDN article: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/Synchronous_and_Asynchronous_Requests#synchronous_request
