That's nice but when you load the actual universal credit login page it needs nearly 400kb of reactjs - not sure about after that, don't have an account..
Yea, I was shocked they talk about stripping jQuery as if they have these super fast, snappy pages and then ... it's React. WHAT? React is a lot if things to a lot of people, but fast loading (on an underpowered device with bad connection, which are the conditions they're talking about) isn't one of them. When I imagine a grandma trying to login into a gov site and loading a meg of react related garbage which then runs like ass anyways, I want to punch a Zucc in his cold blooded alien dick.
