My pals in BBC World Service have been doing some awesome work on "lite" versions of their news articles (other page types to follow). They essentially skip the Server-Side React hydration which means you end up with a simpler HTML+CSS page, no JS. Page sizes drop significantly:
- Transferred: ~600KB -> 30KB
- Total: 1.65MB -> 135KB Just append

The rest is history.
