I've been making complex biz admin websites for a few years now that fit in under 20kb (uncompressed) by cheating a little bit with web sockets and js eval. Blazor server-side is a pretty good approximation for what my technique looks like today. These websites are not the most accessible if we are factoring in network and platform concerns. But, they are by far some of the fastest (non-static) web experiences I have ever been responsible for. For employees in the same state as our datacenter, "instant" is really the best way to describe most interactions. We also use things like in-process SQLite for all of our persistence, so latency between button click & updated DOM is about as low as you could ever hope for. I think having lightweight & fast web experiences is the key to building a successful technology business. When your customers & employees have to wait seconds for each interaction to "come back", they are going to have way more time to think about competitors and spending their time/money/attention elsewhere.
