Vincent Bernat writes in his blog about recent steps he took to increase privacy for his visitors and efficiency for the blog. He started out with excluding privacy-hostile modifications like Google Analytics, Disqus, third-party fonts, and much more. After reflection, he pared back and found the results better all around.
He addresses the following technologies one by one:
- Analytics
- Fonts
- Videos
- Comments
- Search engine

Choosing NOT to inject your web site with malicious, third-party scripts will also improve performance and reliability. Of course by malicious I mean Google, Facebook, Amazon, 3rd party fonts, etc.
There is nothing wrong with writing a simple, static, HTML (and CSS if you must) web site and dropping it onto a VPS somewhere. You can host video as well. Come on. Admit it. Your blog isn't popular enough to worry about download caps even on fairly large videos.
