Ptable.com uses no frameworks or libraries and has a payload size of ~64K if you use an ad/tracker blocker, and that includes all the property data and WebGL orbitals rendered from the Schrodinger equation on the Electrons tab.

Looks nice, but I'm puzzled that for a scientific table the temperatures are given in Fahrenheit and Celsius instead of Kelvin. I understand, that it's easier for the non-scientific reader, but in this case it should be adjusted to the language as well. E.g. most non-english readers are probably not familiar with Fahrenheit.

I'd add to the problems others point out bad layout: without spacing the lantanides and actinides look like rows 8 and 9.

It's one of the things I appreciate about it - instant load of everything upfront. In a world of overbloated sites it's very small and does a lot with a little (I stumbled on it randomly on https://1mb.club a while back).
