Re: Lots of issues here
Lots of web pages pull information from sites other than the one that served up the web page. A good example is the javascript libraries themselves are often served up by Content Delivery Networks.
Another trivial example is any website that includes a weather report is probably pulling that data in from an api on a weather site. While they *could* do this at the server, they save themselves a lot of CPU and network bandwidth by getting the browser to do that work.
A big trend in web pages is the single page application. The web page itself only loads once, and everything else is done in Javascript and websocket calls. Turning off Javascript will completely kill this kind of webpage.
