> Yes, hover makes 70 requests, 5 mb on first load, it is an old school website

Literally nothing about this is old school. Not single thing. It's a simple page with text information on it. It needs exactly three requests: HTML, CSS, and a few kilobytes of Javascript for the minor interactive functionality it has.

Because yes "inherently nothing is bloated". An yet this website requires 2.5 megabytes of Javascript to display a few kilobytes of text, and you offer this as an example of "minimalist website that is not bloated" or something.

Yes, it's possible. And yet everywhere you turn you see bloated websites.

> Sorry but I do not really know actually what your point is

I think I've stated it loud and clear, and didn't hide behind several pages of demagoguery about the state of the world and possibilities and what not.

> Tell me your angle. Are you a native app developer for mobile and you fear learning new things?

1. What does this have to do with my questions?

2. What exactly in my questions prompted you to stoop down to ad hominem?

> good web programming is totally possible

> modern js, modern web api, V8 optimization

> you can use webassembly for c++ code

> What you see on current websites is a horror
