> Whats with all the javascript?

On blogs and news media site? mostly ad tech .

The irony is that it took AMP, a proprietary solution, for all these websites that mainly deal with text and image, to start cracking down on all that stuff.

Remember "mobile first"? Well the majority of web developers clearly do not have a Mobile first strategy, when you look at how heavy their webpages are.

Even the javascript could be lighter, but since everybody is using node.js and NPM behind the scene with a lot of complex modules, well code bundles become crazy big.
