It's not just downloading. Websites come with css (not that big of a problem) and JS (big problem). All that has to be processed by the browser. I found that websites sometimes pull css and js bundles (as in whole ones, even over 20kB ones), even from some other servers. Just the other day i tried a website on my aging smartphone and it sometimes took over 20 sec just to write a character (one) in the search thing.
The average website on teh internets, in my opinion/experience, is bloated to hell. And i'm not talking about functionality here.
