Good Idea.

But what if the user just visit only one page of the website and leaves the page immediately (such as traffic generated from search engines) ? In this scenario, the resource package required for the entire site will be downloaded just for showing one page!

Often, the majority of the resources (css, background images…) is required for rendering any page. So I don't think it will be a problem most of the time, and fits their 80-20 goal.
