> It's 2018 and you're complaining about a few MB of bandwidth

Ah, yes, 2018, the Year Where Everything On The Internet Is Connected To A Cable.

It's 298 bytes per page request given the example he gives (your token can be smaller or larger depending on the data in it).

It's 24 MB of bandwidth to the -server-. Your server -better- be behind a decent broadband connection, or what are you even doing?

1/3rd a kilobyte per page request to the -client-. 1/3rd a kb is a blink of an eye even on modern dialup.

Why do you think it has to go skyrocket forever?! I am already really disgusted by how big applications are nowadays, how bloated, slow, memory-hungry and inefficient they are. Every saved MB counts.

In this case the article is talking about 24 MB of additional bandwidth used by the server to serve 100k pageviews using JWTS
