I don't think he authored that though.

I have only 2.8MB on my computer with the adblocker (the website has Google Analytics and a Twitter widget), mostly images. Fonts/Text/CSS: 120KB. And the website works perfectly without Javascript.

I block everything but HTML by default. One request, 10.49 KB transferred.

With images, it's 14 requests, 24 KB, a little over a second. (I block JS.)

+1 much of the weight/bloat of web pages are: javascript code, massive amounts of media, ADVERTISEMENTS!!!!, etc.

The base html is fairly lightweight. ;)
