This sounds plausible, but doesn't translate to reality. Look at the slowest content sites today: they're large, well-resourced news sites. Look at the small, independent individuals running their own personal site: many are very fast.
In reality, I'd say the biggest causes of website performance issues are (a) institutional bureaucracy - managers requiring their website to do something without regard for the overhead and (b) professional graphic designers defining UI features without technical knowledge of their implemention details. These are both, usually, corporate inefficiencies that have little effect on smaller maintainers.
