Here, for example, is the UK gov's primary COVID page: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus And traces: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/200417_MQ_0ad46129a386d547f296065a9dadcc24/ … It's *really bloody fast*, just like nearly all the rest of http://gov.uk because (until, it seems, very recently) this sort of JS bloat was verboten.

I'm actively pushing for better web performance across services built by GDS, and blogged about why it is important here: https://technology.blog.gov.uk/2019/04/18/why-we-focus-on-frontend-performance/ … This is a much more difficult task for services built by other departments, but it's something I'd like to help solve in the future.
