"However, it’s only 829kb, and that includes every single non-image asset (fonts, css, all libraries and dependencies, and js)."

Only 829KB? ONLY?

This[1] is a (dynamic) on-line course for all beginner sport shooters in Poland, each page takes about 15KB. And i still sometimes want to rewrite the CSS, as it's now 3 requests. It shouldn't make a difference on HTTP/2, but that's a lame excuse.

It's not very fast (100-200ms) and maybe i should get a faster server -- there's room for improvement. But in my view, if it's static, it's supposed to be as fast as a native app on your smartphone. 1MB of bullshit js that nobody wants is not "ONLY".

Btw, maybe mine is lame and ugly. But i couldn't sleep if i made people load 1MB of fonts, javascript and CSS. It's just a shameful waste.
