I'm getting old.
Web People - how big should a webpage be these days?
I've just checked a client's site and it weighs over 6Mb.. on mobile.
It's based on Squarespace and I can't get my head around the fact that the class definitions for the body tag ALONE weighs 7Kb. That's just the contents of the Body's Class tag. Not exactly well-built... .
I'm currently re-doing my own website and have been going through a side project's site recently, shaving off hundreds of KB of cruft from here and there.
At what pageweight do things start getting ridiculous these days?
(When I first started doing this shit, if you started poking over 100Kb, for the entire site, things were getting weighty.. this was the [late] days of dial-up, mind).
- fucking hell, there's 2mb of 'minified' javascript - it's a fucking website! A squarespace site at that - what does all that code *DO*?!detritus

- I guess I'm aiming for 1.5Mb-2Mb for my stuff. Which staggers me, tbh.detritus

- Just optimized where possible, css can get you almost every visual you need. Media files are the biggest hog. Are you saying their home page is 6mb?BabySnakes
