My pals in BBC World Service have been doing some awesome work on "lite" versions of their news articles (other page types to follow). They essentially skip the Server-Side React hydration which means you end up with a simpler HTML+CSS page, no JS. Page sizes drop significantly:

I remember the transition from plain-text emails to HTML emails. I fought tooth and nail to keep my email fully plain-text because it offered almost 70-80% storage savings. This was when email quotas were measured in megabytes.

Then Gmail came along and made HTML the standard email because they offered 2 GBs of space.

The rest is history.
