Fairly useless in my opinion.

From having a look many of them are just a small linktree to larger websites where the information is.

I like the idea of keeping things lightweight, but if I'm being pointed away to external sites for everything. Then it's mostly a 1kb webpage as opposed to a website.

There are websites that host games under X kilobytes, and they’re typically built using very clever tricks and techniques that you can learn from.

None of the sites in this 1kB club even attempt anything noteworthy.

For example, one of them just says “persons name, web hacker”. Wowee.

I agree. The 512kB and 250kB clubs are better.

I find interesting that most of pages take more than ~400ms to load on a new machine and 1G connection in Europe. Except the one at intercity-vpn.de one. I think after a point it's worth looking into serving from the edge than cutting size.

I’m pretty amazed that https://www.fullstackpython.com/ is in the 250kb club. It’s a whole book.
