How much does that save, after the Brotli compression, and how much does it contribute to your supposed TTB? And why would it affect the page performance once loaded? And how does your alternate of CSS grids change that? If it is responsive, it is still going to have to define a bunch of CSS to explain what the layout is and how it changes.
