That's how much data my former high school's new website sends in order to show you a link to the old one.
Apparently they needed it because nicolet.k12.wi.us was too many letters for the poor little high schoolers to remember every time they needed to use their school email.
It seems they've never heard of redirects.

Why don't they just put the website at http://nicolet.us/ ? Nice and short and simple.

It's a "GoDaddy Instant Page" so I'd expect a lot of cruft in a generated page.

Yow! No wonder even a fast connection is starting to feel sluggish.
