WHY I'M WRITING PURE HTML & CSS IN 2025

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Using pure HTML and CSS in 2025 creates web pages that load instantly, deploy easily, and never need security updates, while modern websites have become bloated with an average size of 2.65MB. Pure HTML pages have advantages, including evergreen compatibility (HTML from 1991 still works today), better accessibility and SEO through semantic tags, free hosting options, and no complex build processes or dependency management.
