The HTML for this page is 2.7MB. Somebody on the train to FOSDEM was telling me that they use it as a test case for web browsers and HTML parsers.


That's kind of cool. It's a full, large book complete with examples with full syntax coloring. And still fits into less than 1/100th of a cent of disk space.


And the images add only another 750 KB. Rendered in Chrome it takes 98.7 MB (compare vs. ~250~MB for a a typical G+ page on load, often growing to 2+ GB, just sitting there).

This is an exceptionally strong argument for well-coded, self-contained, static pages.
