Description
Copying the issue from https://github.com/ocsigen/ocsigen.org-deprecated/issues/38 as it continues being a problem.
The web design of ocsigen.org seems to have a bug in that the contents pane on the left [1] occupies only half of the available vertical space.
I also wish that the dark blue strip at the top of the screen would be a lot narrower, so the vertical space could be reclaimed for text. It seems that the top strip could be reduced to about a third of its height without affecting its information content or the aesthetics.

Research direction
Open the referenced js_of_ocaml manual page and inspect the layout responsible for the left contents pane and dark blue top strip. Compare their vertical space with the available viewport; done means the contents pane uses the available height more effectively and the top strip is substantially narrower without losing its information.
