The web should be something simple, after all HTML and HTTP were both designed to transfer text, the former is the document format and the latter the means of transmission. Of course nowadays the web is bloated with javascript, webassembly, webRTC, EME, and many other technologies. Perhaps a good word on design are the following two sites:

http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/

It's fun how the authors present valid ideas about the web. Please, don't get offended, instead try to think about the origin of their criticism.

Yes I agree with both those websites... and they're arguing against the website of these books. It has weird graphics, it isn't simple HTML, it's generated by JavaScript.
