This is bad advice for the vast majority of sites. It's like, "morbidly obese? Lose weight by not licking stamps!" Omitting `<head></head>` saves 13 bytes, assuming gzip didn't help in the first place. The average page weighs thousands of bytes, according to https://www.sitepoint.com/average-page-weight-increased-another-16-2015/ https://www.sitepoint.com/average-page-weight-increased-anot...). If your pages are like the average, you've already wasted too much time thinking about this. Go optimize your images, use less JS, and make 200 other size optimizations first. You'll probably never get around to this one.
