It was an internal system for keep track of several projects. That still used 600MB more javascript than it actually needed for what it ended up doing anyway; purely static pages could’ve done everything needed, except maybe the animated graphics, but the create/edit forms were a fucking pain to even test, because not a single fucking element had an id and the date picker was literally impossible to target with Selenium
I’ve once worked on a project where the compressed .JS shit was ~27MB. Uncompressed it was ~600MB.
That was a fucking webpage…?. I am honestly wondering how a browser could even handle that much code…
I’m gonna say I’ve seen 5 MB uncompressed before but not much more than that if at all. Imo 1 MB is borderline unacceptable for the typical web page.
