That's still pretty bloated. That's enough size to fit an entire Android application a few years ago (before AndroidX) and simple Windows/Linux applications. I'll agree that it's justified if you're optimizing for runtime performance rather than first-load, which seems to be appropriate for your product, right?!

What is this 2 MB for? It would be interesting to hear about your WebAssembly performance story!

Regarding the website homepage itself: it weighs around 767.32 kB uncompressed in my testing, most of which is an unoptimized 200+kB JPEG file and some insanely large web fonts (which honestly are unnecessary, the website looks _pretty good_ and could load much faster without them).
