imho, the bulk of a site page should be beneath 150k, including html js, css and whatever imagery is necessary to create a page's structure.
After that, you need to cater to your audience. Its very easy to assume everyone else is on the same super-fast urban broadband you're on... but that's a mistake if your target user is outwith that bound.
Whatever, just because broadband is out there, it doesn't mean you can simply forget trying to shave KB off your images. Save as high quality as makes an image acceptable - but don't default to 90% quality and then thoughtlessly dump a shitload of images on a page.
For me, design is about trying to work within the constraints of a medium - not pretending they don't exist.
- The old me is balking at a site's basics even weighing as much as 150kb.. that used to be an overall ceiling limit!detritus
