> What sort of sites do you think it doesn't apply to?

Single page webapps. In those cases the html/js is normally static and already CDN'ed and the data is a JSON API which varies on a per user basis.

There would be some gain as the dictionary would learn the JSON keys but I doubt it would be very dramatic vs deflate compared to the content sites referenced in the article.
