Ask HN: Web search for small footprint sites?

[qarx]

Recently discovering the "small internet" made me aware of the ridiculous page sizes that are served over http and also how much script needs to run just to render text on a blog.

My question would be, is there a search engine or other means of filtering out the huge portion of bloated sites _before_ you visit them and realize they take too long to load on a slow mobile connection or have too much script or don't even load with noscript?

I don't think there is a web search for that (would be an awesome project), but I do know this list: https://github.com/mdibaiee/awesome-lite-websites

Has like 40 popular sites that have lite versions.

Yea, it'd be a great project, but I also had hopes for an existing search engine have flags you can set for these requirements

I had to laugh when I found hacker news on that list. While the site itself belongs there, it's filled with links to external places who don't belong there ^^

What are some examples of bloated websites with ridiculous page sizes that take too long to load on mobile.
