Did you share that as an example of the developer ignorance, incompetence, and ineptitude?

What with the DIV soup, static style in the markup, presentational images in the markup, SVG in the markup, static scripting in the markup, and general pissing on WHY HTML exists, caching models, HTTP parallelism, and every other bit of dumbf***ery on said site?

Nothing like 101k of HTML to deliver 589 bytes of plaintext and two dozen content media, not even 8k of HTML's flipping job!

Much less the 3.52 MEGABYTES in 50 files of CSS and Javascript on sites that don't warrant more than 32k of CSS and 16k of JS (if any)

Nothing says incompetence quite like 3.65 megs in 65 files doing the job of 256k or less in 12 files or less' job!

Perfect example of just how freaking ignorant people sleazing together this stuff are of the most basic of HTML/CSS principles.

Don't even get me started on the accessibility failings.
