Sad but true!<p>Here, the sad response to slow web page load times on mobile is normally &quot;just get a modern internet connection!&quot; or &quot;use 4G&quot; etc. but if we had desktop apps that took forever to load, you&#x27;d hear complaints pretty soon. A response of &quot;get a faster computer&quot; isn&#x27;t accepted there, and accepting all this boatload of javascript isn&#x27;t good either.<p>I can&#x27;t remember the link but the average page size has been skyrocketing the past few years, which I think is sad. All that network traffic, electricity usage and CPU processing just for the same jQuery code to be flung across the Internet a billion times.
