Attached: 2 images My pals in BBC World Service have been doing some awesome work on "lite" versions of their news articles (other page types to follow). They essentially skip the Server-Side React hydration which means you end up with a simpler HTML+CSS page, no JS. Page sizes drop significantly: * Transferred: ~600KB -> 30KB * Total: 1.65MB -> 135KB Just append `.lite` on a URL e.g. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/articles/crgyyvdz1dro.lite There's no on/off UX at the moment but they're working on that too. #WebDev #WebPerf #WebPerformance #BBC
