Which isn't the case for the extreme majority of all websites? We're talking about ifixit.com here, a random guide page (so quite heavy in pictures) is only 6.8MB.

I think they'll survive this massive DDOS of 76MBPS.

Same in the case of ReadTheDocs which was linked above, 10TB of traffic over 6 days, an incredible 19.29MBPS sustained. Has humanity even built technology powerful enough to handle this massive assault?!
