What you're describing is an internet that hasn't existed since 2006, or whenever Jquery and Ajax started becoming mainstream.

Sites containing "fonts and scripts" are not baggage. They have just been updated for modern times. Sites have to measure traffic somehow, and it's not going to be via a "Guest Counter" widget like they had back in the Geocities days.

You might be looking for an alt-web like that hosted on the Gemini network. It's all text and HTML-only as I understand.
