Here on HN we like to complain about JS frameworks and Single Page Apps. Yes, they can be slow. But they also power some great interactive web experiences like Figma or Slack that just aren't feasible to build any other way. The low hanging fruit here is content websites (news, blogs, etc) which are loaded down with hundreds of tracking scripts, big ads, and tons of JS that has nothing to do with the content the user came to read. Try loading this page (which is far from the worst): https://www.theverge.com/21351770/google-pixel-4a-review-camera-specs-price https://www.theverge.com/21351770/google-pixel-4a-review-cam... Privacy Badger reported 30 (!!!) tracking scripts on that page. Even with PB blocking those, it still takes ~15s before the page is usable on my MacBook Pro with a fast connection. It's just a bunch of text and some picture galleries. It loads like it's an IDE.
