I think that biggest issue with page size is not due to client side rendering, but rather thanks to bundling and idea that you need to download the same minified Lo-Dash on each and every page. Why can’t we just use public CDNs is beyond my understanding. I really like client side apps. They are so much more responsive. The only problem is with bundle sizes.

> Why can’t we just use public CDNs is beyond my understanding. Privacy issues iirc. I think you can use the setup to introduce tracking/reveal information about your history.

  It could have worked with a trusted, open broker. I'm sure there could be a compatible sustainability model. I feel like a lot of potential trust was broken by the likes of Facebook and Google.

    I'm not sure. I think the issue was not the provider but that if you visited pages it was possible for that page to gain information about your history based on whether resources were cached.

You can CDN your own bundles which include your libraries without much issue. You don't even have to really CDN them as much as make them cache friendly (name them with hash) and set the TTL to 30d. Download once then the browser will keep a copy for future page visits
