Re: Re. Google's "empty" page
Here's a fun exercise: have a look at the source code behind that empty page.
Fun? No. Try SCARY!
IIRC it was several KB of CSS alone. FOR. AN. EMPTY. PAGE.
They talk about sites being "mobile friendly" and how Google punishes those that aren't, yet in many parts of the world mobile data is still expensive and their CSS alone is larger than many pages, or at least so it seems.
I didn't go with PDF or anything to check the size, but I did find it out when I was looking to create a business version of their page. Settled for another search firm instead, with much less page load.
