A #NewToMe article by Alex Russell (@slightlyoff) points out that websites are still way too bloated to reach 75 percent of global viewers. A page load on a cold cache shouldn't exceed 500 KiB, or people using older budget mobile devices won't be able to view your page in 5 seconds. Modern script-heavy #SinglePageApplication #FrontEnd frameworks are boat anchors compared to good old #ProgressiveEnhancement.
I'm agreeing with most of it, except that Alex's suggested split of 350 KiB of #JavaScript and 150 KiB of everything else (#HTML, #CSS, and images) sounds backwards to me.
