I don't know how all these big companies talking about the mobile web and PWAs manage to build sites so inefficient for mobile loading.

Web development is eventually going to collapse under the weight of itself. This just seems so ... sloppy.

This is what happens when you make everything an API and try to hide all of the details. People program as the docs tell them to, not realizing that what they're doing requires a hideous amount of complexity under the hood. It is sadly rare for an API to actually mention that a particular method is expensive.

Huh, this is a badly coded WordPress site with HTML and CSS?

I got 130 totaling 20MB, but still insane. At least some of them are loaded after the initial render.

Not sure if this is worse than the redirect hell on the rest of their website...

In other words, it's a typical Wordpress site.

Came to say the same, crazy. A 4MB+ gif?!
