@mark that’s a commendable project. Someone on here posted this a year or two ago, and it’s been rattling around my brain ever since: https://danluu.com/slow-device/
Bloat has a lot of real-world ramifications (pun not intended but thoroughly enjoyed).
@coldkennels@mastodon.social It would be a source of pride to me to minimise the burden of my design. Given the link you sent, clearly not everyone shares my enthusiasm to reduce my footprint.
@mark When you inspect the HTML of the average site - particularly anything made with Wix or Squarespace, I should add - it's insane just how much bloat there is. That's not even going into the amount of Javascript, excessive image size, and constant calls to other servers going on.
