dynamic sites are a choice, and achieving that richer level of interaction comes with its own costs. For every legitimately dynamic page out there (going all the way up to full-on applications), there’s many more that have no good reason to be anything other than static content that could be served from a cdn.

Optimising for throughout rather than latency is, again, a design choice, and the article serves as an indictment of taking that too far.
