While it is true, for almost all of the users most of it is cached. For me it is using 2.5 MB resources with 77kB transferred.
- onion2k 5y agoThat's important of course, but the cached code will have to be refreshed when there's a change (could be done partially with code splitting), so how long the cached data lasts depends on how often the Search page is updated. For Google that probably isn't happening daily, but it could be very often. Hopefully Google have split out the hot code that changes a lot in to a small bundle so the rest can sit in the cache for a while.
- jamil7 5y agoThat cached code (presumably) needs to be executed by your computer so it’s still wasteful, slower and somewhat mind boggling as to why that pages needs 2.5mb worth of html/css/js.
