The average web page has grown 151% in just three years
This doesn’t really surprise me, but the unfortunate thing is there is still an upwards trend. More than half the page size is due to images, so while you’re trying to keep page size down why don’t you forget about trimming another few characters from your CSS and just use one less JPG.
The average top 1,000 web page is 1575 KB. Last spring, the average page was 1246 KB. This represents a 26% increase in total page size in just six months, and a 151% increase in three years.
