Industry will do absolutely anything, except making lightweight sites.

We had instant internet in the late 90s, if you were lucky enough to have a fast connection. The pages were small and there were barely any javascript. You can still find such fast loading lightweight pages today and the experience is almost surreal.

It feels like the page has completely loaded before you even released the mousebutton.

If only the user experience were better it might have been tolerable but we didn't get that either.

Tried that on my website (bittich.be), it's only 20ish kb gzipped. I could have done better if I didn't use tailwind css :(
