Funnily enough I recently did the same thing for my personal website[1][2]. Previously I had used create-react-app to build what was essentially some basic static HTML with styling and I took a step back and realized how insane it was that I had an entire build + deploy pipeline to show some basic information.

The website is currently 16.59KB transferred and it has the following - dark mode support - social media display support - basic, anonymous analytics using simpleanalytics

It's hosted for free using GitHub pages and a push to master immediately makes the changes available on the internet. Additionally GitHub manages all of the SSL certs so I don't even have to think about it. Compared to the SPAs I (and most WebDevs) write for work nowadays it was actually a breath of fresh air to take away so much!
