Again, this is not a post on a gallery of websites that don’t have 4mb of JavaScript.

Is the fact that they do have 4mb an interesting or novel discussion point.

As in, I remember once was going to invite this branding agency to pitch for the job because their website demonstrated creative immersion, craft and sensibility but then I noticed it has 4mb of JavaScript so I didn’t.

I’m sure these websites could be optimised greatly. But time, budgets and scope don’t include it because the business need isn’t there.

Maybe a more interesting talking point, from an engineering perspective, would be why there is no product value in that.
