It's not always a tradeoff. Several sites stopped serving CSS during the Superbowl (https://twitter.com/jensimmons/status/828415747625992192 https://twitter.com/jensimmons/status/828415747625992192). At a smaller scale, the same thing happens to some sites that reach the HN front-page.
- iLoch 10y agoSo a couple sites go down on a single day of the year because they were unprepared and suddenly it's a bad idea to depend on CSS? Seems like costly optimization with almost no benefit to me.
- hyperpape 10y agoIt depends on exactly the costs are. But in that example, those sites are spending millions on Superbowl ads, and it's probably their highest day of traffic, so it's not "almost no benefit".
