ouch! 300k for a home page? I think you and your users would definitely
benefit from reducing the file weight. Years ago (back in the dark ages) ,
when most people were still using dial up (or was that just me?!)  we used
to recommend a 20kb home page.


Is that 300kb including all CSS, scripts, images and code?

I think that 6 seconds it's the maximum time that the homepage should take
to download. But that's dependend of you audience. If many of your clients
use 56Kbps modem connection then 300KB is huge. If they all use T1 or even
better then 300KB is average.I tend to use by reference 50kb for each
page, total!

Try to give a thumbnail of your images and then a link to the full
version.

Hello list,


What is considered an acceptable total page size for the web these days?
Clearly the smaller the better but I've put together a fairly graphic heavy
travel website with a homepage size of about 300k. With GZIP switched on in
the server I imagine that this will be reduced fairly substantially (we have
some huge stylesheets that will compress well).


Thoughts?
