gollark: ... is your website pulling in 250KB of in-browser Lua VM on every page and not using `async`/`defer` for it?
gollark: Although you could *sort of* do those things with a static site too.
gollark: Mine is designed as a mostly-static website, which doesn't do either of those.
gollark: I went to a lot of effort to speed up my site, including inlining the CSS in the page itself, so it has to be small.
gollark: Mine is basically just the default CSS with some stuff for a navbar, and some minor enhancements to links and stuff.
