You think web page size bloat is bad on some things? oh boy.

Good afternoon to everyone, except bumn.go.id (an Indonesian government website) for having a (at least) 3GB web page because of embedded MP4's with uncompressed audio and video seeming straight from the camera...

This must cost so much for them, like a single page load could cost at least $0.15 in cloud egress fees alone

@benjojo and here I am trying to get my page under 512kb (which, mind you, is only my target because of additional fonts. if I wasn't counting fonts, it would be 256kb. and if I replaced my profile picture with a vector image, which I also plan to do, it will be ~128kb)

@solonovamax my target, which includes custom fonts, fontawesome, and quite a few images, is 1MB. At the moment it's 754kB size (675kB transferred) which I'm happy with

@wilbur I'm removing fontawesome from my site because it is absolutely HUGE for the extremely minor benefit it provides

it's just so much easier to use an svg

for images, if you're not already, make sure yo have webp, avif, and jxl <source> tags as well are using srcset to let the browser choose the image with the ideal size.
those two things have dropped my final bundle size quite significantly

@solonovamax at the moment my images are either webp or avif depending on what i could get smaller, i'll add jxl once ff or chromium adds support for it because i like the format
