@Nine@chitter.xyz @ifixcoinops@retro.social my website's homepage is 175kb, of which like 10-20kb is the text/code, 30kb fonts, 80kb stylistic images (banner + background) and the rest is mostly 88x31 buttons at the bottom of the page

@Nine@chitter.xyz @ifixcoinops@retro.social that's with basic size optimizations, I could do better but I didn't see a point in trying. And then there's some very specific pages where I have unreasonably huge images and perhaps I should have thumbnails for them because 8MB per image is kinda unreasonable. Basically I listened to the people screaming about how JavaScript is the root of all evil and have some very… creative CSS hacks for basic features (and ended up adding a sprinkle of JS anyway because turns out my CSS hacks fucked with accessibility in annoying ways. It's still technically usable without JS but with a few UX papercuts like the image viewer accidentally blocking you from downloading an image when it's zoomed in. And the tab-order being weird and nonsensical in some cases.). Which means adding thumbnails in a reasonable way would be pretty hard actually!
