I don't know how they perceive the performance. I see 41 network requests. That's 2.1 MB of CSS over the wire, blocking rendering and hurting painting and loading speed. There's 400 KB of Tailwind, 87 KB of general CSS, plus another 200 KB of other general CSS. They need to embrace functional CSS properly. I'm sure they could have a single CSS file under 80 KB that renders everything.
I thought CSS was originally to simplify hand-written HTML so it could focus more on the content and formatting would be standardized by the CSS stylesheet.
2MB of CSS just sounds insane. What are we even doing here?
FFS, why not just go back to explicitly inlining all the formatting in the HTML itself? I have trouble believing all the CSS is actively used. It’s not like any of this is written by humans these days.
2MB of text - isn’t that roughly half the size of the Christian Bible?
