A web performance consultant draws a personal parallel between his successful 50-pound weight loss using Tirzepatide (a GLP-1 medication) and the ongoing struggle to slim down bloated websites. Despite researching solutions like Partytown, Cloudflare Zaraz, and server-side Google Tag Manager, no clear equivalent to GLP-1 exists for the web's third-party script problem. The post notes that AI-generated code has actually worsened JavaScript bloat since mid-2025, and calls on the web performance community to collectively tackle third-party script weight through shared knowledge and tooling improvements.
