@ndw@mastodon.social I’ll tell you what, everyone
If you have a website, no matter how complex or girthy, just copy all the words out of each page and put them all together as plain text on one page and serve that as a test

It’s incredible how much extra flab there is just by having so many places that the information lives, and also due to the availability of the structural semantic elements in html – the text just balloons up because it seems as though it has to

when it’s all stripped out into just text, no headlines, no bold, nothing, just text and linefeeds, no styling, no clever stuff, just do what a typewriter does, just a typewriter (no, not a selectric, just a manual typewriter) then you’ll see how much flab and repetition and non-informational excess wordage there really is
