amazing that its 194kb and you think this is very small. what world are ver living in that web development has made us so sloppy and inefficient, when MB's of script downloads are considered slim.

Yes, because in 2015 194kb is so incredibly much.

Maybe the carriers' are sloppy and inefficient. See, whatever I do, when I access anything web-based on my mobile phone, it is slow. And I live in Paris.

It's funny how suposedly the 3G/4G stuff should be fast but in reality it is not, I believe that is mostly because in large areas the access points are overcrowded.

In other words, the technology used to access internet is saturated, and developpers should be blamed for having websites >200kb heavy!

Who's crazy now?

I don't disagree that the main culprit is the carriers, but access points would not be so saturated if websites were smaller.
To be fair, 194kb is pretty far from "MB's of script downloads".
Devtools says that this page is 131KB.
