Hacky PHP to produce a "blank" web page which somehow has content when viewed in Firefox. Sample page at https://danq.me/wp-content/no-code-webpage/, explanation at https://danq.me/nocode

file_get_contents('linked.css')

// embed as a data: uri

header("Link: <data:text/css;charset=utf-8;base64,${base64css}>; rel=\"stylesheet\"");
