Back in the day we'd try and get page sizes down to less than 100k.

The Internet isn't fast for everyone. I (in the UK) have no 3G signal, let alone 4G and my broadband speed is pitiful - but it will do. There is nothing I can do to ramp the pipe speed up. I do end up turning off JS and images a lot of the time, because otherwise it ills me.

As a web dev, I don't care for bloat. So I find it particularly irksome, and currently it's enough to deter me from going mobile. Once I'd have dreamed about having a modern smartphone in my pocket with any Internet connection, but the friction currently today puts me off. The UK was recently slammed for its retrograde networks.

An IMHO interesting unit of measure is the DOOM(s), JFYI:

As in "my site homepage is less than 1 Doom" or "that crappy site is more than 3 Dooms" ...
