> In my experience, the bloat comes from Analytics and binary data (image/video) not functional code for the SPA. Unfortunately, the business keeps claiming it's "important" to them to have analytics... I don't see it but they pay my salary.

Similar to my experience. So glad I uBlock Origin a lot of unnecessary traffic. At some point it is not longer good taste, when the 5th CDN is requested, the 10th tracker script from random untrusted 3rd parties loaded ... All while neglecting good design of a website, making it implode, when you block their unwanted stuff. Not rare to save more than half the traffic, when blocking stuff.
