Right, but isn't that part of the general trend of bandwidth becoming far cheaper in the last decade along with dynamic HTML becoming a smaller fraction of total transit?

A 95%+ reduction in bandwidth usage for dynamic server-side-rendered HTML is much less important in 2023 than 2013.

Unless you're part of the large majority of people in the world on slower mobile networks. We keep designing and building for people with broadband / wifi, and missing out just how big the 3G / lousy latency markets are.
I think it's related to the size of the Cloudflare network and how good its connectivity is (and our own fibre backbone). But on the eyeball side bandwidth isn't the only game in town: latency is the silent killer.
