- hadrien01 8y agoI have only 2.8MB on my computer with the adblocker (the website has Google Analytics and a Twitter widget), mostly images. Fonts/Text/CSS: 120KB. And the website works perfectly without Javascript.
- oftenwrong 8y agoI block everything but HTML by default. One request, 10.49 KB transferred.
- wingtangwong 8y ago+1 much of the weight/bloat of web pages are: javascript code, massive amounts of media, ADVERTISEMENTS!!!!, etc. The base html is fairly lightweight. ;)
- phyzome 8y agoWith images, it's 14 requests, 24 KB, a little over a second. (I block JS.)
- paulddraper 8y agoI don't think he authored that though. He didn't say he didn't use software; he wishes they were lighter.
