If they&#x27;re really that repetitive, then gzip should eliminate almost all of the bloat.<p>We also need to think about number of round-trips. If you&#x27;re on an old phone on a 3G connection in India, the extra round-trip from requesting the HTML <i>then</i> requesting the CSS makes a difference.<p>I&#x27;m super interested about the performance aspect, too, but I feel like we need numbers to really go into detail. There&#x27;s way too many factors at play here for the correct answer to be obvious.
