That page of just text is a 1Mb download... Is this what the web has become now? Do we really need 1Mb of boilerplate for 10Kb of text?

- jmondi 6y agoI don't know where you got 1MB, the page for me was 363.09KB with caching off. That said, I do that React+TypeScript is overkill for a personal blog.
- capableweb 6y agoParent seems to talk about unpacked. I'm also getting 356.24 KB transferred but whole 957.53 KB of unpacked data, which is absolutely crazy for a static page with no interactivity nor media.
- _Understated_ 6y agoYes you're right, my mistake! I just saw the headline figure but still... it's only text! I have developed stuff in react (among other things too) but horses for courses: this is an html website with some javascript sprinkles, so it should be tiny imo.
