    First one doesn't resolve (DNS) here.

    Second one... is acceptable, even if it is four times the size I'd have such a simple design. Much of that is the framework bloat; between the grid nonsense and the fat bloated train wreck of "JS for nothing" provided by jQuery, and hard to read/blurry bandwidth wasting webfonts, I'd ballpark at least 200k in a half dozen files could still be shaved off that with zero 'real' impact on the page's usefulness or attractiveness. (if anything it would fix some issues).

    The 10k of markup is an acceptable size, but likewise it could be trimmed far, FAR more. I'd ballpark that anywhere from 3 to 5k of it could in fact be pitched for doing nothing... on that subject the markup is ... bizarre. You've got this wierd mix of HTML 3.2 (including tags like FONT/CENTER and attributes like TARGET that have ZERO business on any website written after 1997) in a HTML 5 doctype; you've got lists around non-list elements, no lists around list elements, blatantly presentational class use thanks to whatever malfing 'grid' system you went with... The lack of anything resembling proper semantics is a major issue that should be fixed.

    That it's not responsive either isn't helping, but that goes with the whole 'grids' nonsense that REALLY should be pitched out the window... just like the whitespace-compressing the CSS to sweep bad code under the rug, and IE conditional nonsense to make up for broken sitebuilding methodology.
