> I've seen several articles about how webpages are bloated, but I don't see any real proposition on how to fix it.

Amp - Google = Fast webpages anyone can host.

Webpages are slow because of either fetch time (which can be addressed by not sending more data than needed) or processing time (which can be addressed by minimizing your time spent in Javascript).

Pure HTML/CSS pages are always going to be fast. Just look at HN for an example. It's when you are asking users to download huge images/movies, or when Javascript is used to do all of the DOM creation and fetching of assets, that things start to slow down.
