Yeah or just stop using wordpress websites, same same.

The trick is 'slower' web/apps generate the only reasonable demand for 'faster' internet.

It's like Microsift stuffing your computer full of updates that it runs slower and so you 'need' another computer.

Or Apple trippling it's picture resolution so your storage is more quick filled up and then they offer U.S. 'cloud' servers to store your stuff on, which is outside the GDPR.

It's all a simple corporate sales-trick.

I thought, that just using a smaller wordpress website without much bloat would suffice, but even my own website is 1.38MB big O.o

Well, the header is 980kB and I just compressed it, now my website is only 320kB :)

It's not just the weigth of the pictures, it's more the loading times of all the bloating JS and plugins etc. :)

@itchi5 @username I totally agree with you.
I just now as you wrote that remembered, that when I set up my website, I paid much attention on it using at least js, plugins and other things as possible.
And in retrospect I think I can say it worked :)
