Sign up with GoogleI created a post abut this a while back. search for some reason does not find it.
I managed to fully embed bootstrap into the ESP8266 and its running like a charm.
All I had to do is make use of SPIFFS. Compress bootstrap and the HTML pages using Gzip then pass the compressed version of all files to the browser. Most browsers support compressed pages.
I created a tutorial here if anyone is interested. --> http://www.techtinker.co.za/2018/08/28/fully-embed-bootstrap-into-an-esp8266-web-server/
But below is a full example of the code. The web server runs in station mode instead of AP mode.
The code.
