As much as I agree in general, the last part affects me and many others. I only get 2.5Mb/s and I work for the WISP.

The wife's family living away from the main city have intermittent connection and slower speeds. We have only one submarine cable and poor infrastructure further out. So heavy, bloated sites eat up people's pre-paid internet packages quickly or have trouble loading altogether. Prepaid is around $1.25 for 500MB or $10 for 5.5GB.

I think lower bundle sizes should be a goal. Or lower bandwidth websites should be available such as a 'm.' Domain. IMO

This was one of the goals of AMP cache: require sites to use a subset of HTML and vend the data from a server local to the request.
