>What went wrong?
I'll tell you
>everything wants to track you
>more libraries and scripts to add features. Even if they only need one feature from them
>plugins that are bloated because they are designed to appeal to the widest market possible
>more browsers to account for, meaning lengthier code to accommodate for how each one handles CSS, etc
>CDNs
>in general more items crammed onto each page - icons/glyphicons, microtransactions
>non-optimized images
>larger images because we have larger screens now
>multiple copies of each image so that the browser can determine which one to grab based on your screen size or if you're in portrait or landscape mode
>more video embeds because studies show that zoomies prefer video content
>scripts to check if you're logged in, because they want to tease you with restricted content to get you to give them your email
>more links to remind visitors that you have content on other platforms too
