Genuinely curious what is the purpose of pointing out the size of the page in the title?
It's one of the things I appreciate about it - instant load of everything upfront. In a world of overbloated sites it's very small and does a lot with a little (I stumbled on it randomly on https://1mb.club a while back).
In mobile Safari 15.6 the page crashes when I open the menu on the right.
TIL Einsteinium has a melting point of 1133 K (860 °C)
Very nice table! If you want to spend 5kb more, I got something printable: https://michaelgoerz.net/refcards/#periodictable ;-)
SVGs in about 50 languages that are 72K each. https://ptable.com/image/
It lists Seaborgium as having been discovered/created in America, but this is somewhat controversial. The other potential location of discovery is (not surprisingly) Russia.

Ptable.com uses no frameworks or libraries and has a payload size of ~64K if you use an ad/tracker blocker, and that includes all the property data and WebGL orbitals rendered from the Schrodinger equation on the Electrons tab.
Agreed, Ptable is obviously superior.
Ptable is based
It's always frustrating when you can't set the language of a website manually.
Looks nice, but I'm puzzled that for a scientific table the temperatures are given in Fahrenheit and Celsius instead of Kelvin.
I understand, that it's easier for the non-scientific reader, but in this case it should be adjusted to the language as well. E.g. most non-english readers are probably not familiar with Fahrenheit.
Many English readers are not either
I'd add to the problems others point out bad layout: without spacing the lantanides and actinides look like rows 8 and 9.
