## About 1MB Club

The internet has become a <em>bloated mess</em>. Massive JavaScript libraries. Countless client-side queries. Overly complex frontend frameworks.

But we can make a difference - no matter how small it may seem. <em>1MB Club</em> is a growing collection of performance-focused web pages found across the internet. All member web pages weigh less than 1 megabyte in page size.

<blockquote>
    <p>Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.</p>
    <cite>- Edsger Wybe Dijkstra</cite>

This project is a one-man operation. My name is [Bradley Taunt](https://btxx.org) and I'm a designer/developer with over 12 years experience building on the web. I'm passionate about performance (obviously), accessibility and improving user experience across the internet.
