I vaguely recall a recent-ish article that an average web page is 30mb. That's right, thirty megabytes.

It's amazing how much faster web browsing becomes when I run PiHole and block most of it.

Suddenly the TV is pretty snappy, and all browsers feel so much smoother.

And I'm sitting here uneasy thinking how the hell I'm going to compress my map data any further so that my entire web app is no bigger than 2 mb. 😥

That’s straight up not true. It’s not even remotely close to that.
