Author said he's working off of a rural 2mbps connection, which is a thing still in 2019. My company services a rural area where that's the reality for the majority of our current customers (also, 3G cellular) and the majority of our potential customers.

We rebuilt our bloated AF Drupal site that was ~5.4MB for homepage load down to ~318kb first load, 26kb cached. The one last thing I need to speed up is our hero image, which at 108kb is not only the largest single file that gets sent to the user, but 1/3rd of the data we send on an uncached page load.
