I didn't find the large 'Groundspeak geocaching' page you referred to.
So I tested using the Norwegian news-paper https://www.vg.no
(which BTW looks awful in Lynx compared to most NYT pages).

www.vg.no has a front-page of 2.6 MByte (HTML only)
Testing with my Opera Mini browser on my Nokia phone, the front-page size
was 236 kByte (89% reduction) thanks to "Opera Mini Mark-up Language".
The page started slowly, but rendered acceptable on the 37x55mm screen.
