Hello there, thank you for your honest message. I checked your page and it looks very much like it is possible to get back below 256kB with some minor changes. The majority of load comes from the album covers (~2.25MB), which are shown tiny but loaded in full size. Also every media player preloads around 55kB to 65kB of meta data from your flac files (~360kB), which really don't need to be preloaded. This already sums up to 2.6 of the total 2.75MB. Also using OGG instead of FLAC would save you tons of bandwidth here as well. There is really no need to use this format for 20 second long song previews.
My suggestions should be obvious, but here a list for clarity's sake:
convert the album covers to 100x100 pixel jpgs with medium quality settings (70 or so)
set preload="none" on all the audio elements to avoid additional data loading.
Also, you can improve accessibility by using figure and figcaption around your audio tags. For example:
I saw how it is used but it's not the issue. The issue is, that on every visit your page generated a log entry on a different page, without any notification or meaningful reason. If this request happens the moment someone enters the command, it would not be an issue.

Happy to see this! If it wasn't an oldschool webring page, I would decry all the pictures without much content, but I guess that is part of its charme. Welcome to the 250kB Club!
I love that you have actually 40kB of pure content, instead of scripts and css. I could imagine, that you also could load Katex only where it is needed (I assume, inside an article), which would save quite some bandwidth. Anyway, welcome to the 250kB Club!

Hi! I'm afraid, that will not work, because your page loads a lot of pictures (and this is kinda its purpose, right?) and they quickly go beyond 256kB.
Hi. It’s already online, thanks for the update.
I appreciate your tip on accessibility. Have the contrast ratio fixed, though haven’t uploaded the new stylesheet CSS yet.
Thank you for running the 250kb club! :thumbs_up:

Will be updated, if it is not already, the next time I run updates (which was actually last week, but I forgot to push the changes, I will update again today, though).
Nice minimalistic style, btw, and I love that you have a now page. I have one small suggestion: You have certain elements with very low contrast (--color-gray), that are probably very hard to read for people with visual impairment.
