Well I'm stumped. Would love to know how we are getting different results, and how your results (16KB) are _so_ much better than mine (110KB)

Here is a codepen if someone else wants to try OTF results

Opening the link you provided above with Firefox and bringing up network motior, I get the same as you; 109.18 KB "transferred", 131.65 KB "size", and gzip was used according to headers. I thought that maybe "transferred" might be the size of the data after decompression, and "size" would be "transferred" plus headers, but then I checked Chromium and I see 110 KB there as well.

It seems very strange that the size reported by the parent is varying. Why would it do that? Are they all the same file or different ones?
