The problem is that web pages aren't growing larger for no reason. Web pages are larger because audiences are responding to richer graphics; because of business requirements (ie: ads); and because of js frameworks and other libs that decrease the labor required to create web pages.
Those are hard things to change. How can a business giving up its income; or making it's website worse for visitors (by removing graphics)... possibly be a solution?
- hyperdunc 11y agoCertainly there are legitimate reasons for sites to get larger. But too often it's because of poorly compressed media and poor library/framework choices. For businesses, it does come down to time and resources. If the users don't complain about the browsing experience then it's good enough.
- hussong 11y agoTrouble is that most user never complain, they just leave and never come back (unless you're a major news outlet).
