Most websites are like 50mb, my dude.


Incorrect, most are ~2.5 MB; granted, the size has steadily increased over the years. But 50 MB sites are an exception. https://almanac.httparchive.org/en/2022/page-weight


Still nearly a half million characters, though.

That's 1:40 on dialup.

Not 50MB, that's not lightweight, which this thread is about.

I'm not sure what you're meaning to say to this but my point was that 50MB is absolutely humongous and so many websites are around that order of magnitude. 91kb is a lot smaller than it could be, even though it's not exactly absolutely small.
