Knitr / rmkarkdown html (document or laptop) larger than 700 KB, even without images

Question

If I embed a very simple .Rmd file in html, even if no images or code are included, I get an html file larger than 700 KB.

    ---
    title: "Hello world!"
    output:
      html_document: default
      html_notebook: default
    ---

    Nothing else to say, really.

If I insert the above snippet as a “test”, I get a test.html file of 708.6 kilobytes in size and a test.nb.html file, which is 765.7 kb.

Is there a way to reduce the size of the html file?

Other apparently similar questions about stackoverflow are actually related to reducing the file size of html files containing images.
