Just how much JavaScript do you have to use for it to make it a significant difference? If you serve 100k of JS (please don't), at 1 million hits per month you're looking at 100GB. Even at EC2's obscene pricing, this is still just $10/month.

If you're that stingy, why aren't you just putting the entire website behind CloudFlare and calling it a day?

I have a js file that is over 900kb, (nearing a mb)

Given, its for use in embedded webviews of a video game, and it powers like 50 different atomic interfaces via react.
