Isn't this backwards? Optimizing assets becomes more important with scale, not less. Not saying it is actually prioritized that way or that it would be easy but IMO the more traffic you have the more important it is to be frugal with bits.
Yeah. Sites like GitHub pay a lot of money every month for servers. At scale, a bit of performance work can save you millions on your bills. And make your site run faster for users at the same time.
