horrible bloated javascript frameworks. if your page is not interactive, it should be done in just css. if you are loading 5 js files just to display a couple paragraphs of text, there is a problem.
I completely agree. Google's Blogger service is one of the worst offenders. I've been to so many blogspot.co.uk sites where absolutely nothing loads if Javascript is disabled. Once you enable Javascript, often a page of text with no visible interactivity loads. Or the interactive elements are for the sidebar widgets, not the content of the page.
Javascript is simply being ridicuously overused and few people seem to call out for it to stop.
