I never thought to check my banks login pages, as I never had an issue with the loading speed. I had other issues (related to bad bank related service) so I changed a couple of banks.

Current banks login pages are a bit below 3 MB.

I see it as a prioritization issue. Are you happy with your bank services except the size of the (login) pages? Probably they focus on what they should as there would be more customers switching due to bad service than to page sizes. There are probably few scenarios where 10 MB is a problem - most of it should get cached anyhow after the first load.

Well, I had never looked at how much our login page weighs, but it's 65KB [1].

Please shoot me if it gets over 1MB!

The bank that we use (and are unable to change due to the B2B nature of our operations) sucks in every aspect of relations. Both offline and online.

I think it's absolutely normal to be an expert (in web development) and measure businesses based on their web apps. And yes, if an organization where online is a critical point, such as banks nowadays, ignores the problems with their code, this is most probably a sign that the entire organization is broken.

In my case this is a 100% match.
