it wasn't meant to be presumptuous. I have an older smartphone that's limited to 3g (and way to often Edge). What i wanted to say: instead of manually selecting and limiting yourself we should invest in simple, transparent tools that help you get reasonable fast.

I would choose a static site, preferably github pages because of its simplicity and easy update-process. We use elaborate compilers every day to optimize our code, so why is there no "global" optimiser for static pages that exclude a few common libraries that one assumes are already cached (if you really need js)? Maybe it's because i don't know that much about "real" web development besides some dashboard-frontend for a way more complicated backend. But this was more composing bootstraps than developing. I usually am more interested in the backend. But to me these seem to be client-problems. Some quick inlined js for selecting the correct image and whether to load the font should not waste much time. Or is this possible via CSS? In my mind this should not be an impossible task.

I have always wondered why some website display nothing until loading of font finished.
