Can you clarify what you consider "splitting"? I'm interested in knowing
more.

I'm of the opinion that there's only so much that browsers can do, there's
ways of serving the content like lazy loading that still get you the full
content but help the browser do less work.

I also think that it's responsible to use those techniques where required
(low end network conditions on underpowered devices like phones, for
example) as long as the experience is not broken (which needs careful
implementation and consideration!).

Whatever we need to reach as much people as we can! (and make google not
redirect wikipedia to googleweblight on certain countries)
