Comedy gold your site is called cleanCommit, given the dirty bloated slow loading carny side-show of how NOT to build a website that is its homepage. 100% typical of what I've come to expect from the mind-numbing derpitude of CSS frameworks and developers who it seems will never understand why CSS even exists, much less the advantages it brings to the table.

Instead you end up using classes to replicate everything wrong with pre-CSS pre-4 strict coding practices. Thus your 273k of garbage non-semantic middle-finger to accessibility markup to deliver 3.8k of plaintext and nine content images -- not even 10k of HTML's flipping job!

I'll never understand where you folks get the idea that such idiotic trash as failwind is doing you any favors. It only takes your complete ignorance of the most basic of HTML and CSS concepts, and quadruples down on making you work harder, not smarter.

The only way you can see merit in such site-building is to not know enough about HTML or CSS to be building websites in the first place. Look no further than cleancommit.io with its batshit insane 1.49k of HTML+JS spread out over 21 separate files for what has ZERO business being more than 48k in three files. /FAIL/ HARD at web development.

But what do I know, I still maintain that the vast majority of websites have no business using more than 48k of CSS in one file per media target. A concept lost on the know-nothing framework fanboys who don't even bother using the media="screen" on their <style> or <link>.
