I get antsy when I made a page over 100KB (excluding images, and even then anything over 1MB starts to feel excessive unless it's something particularly reliant on images). 5MB feels very high.
- gregable 8y agoI'm with you, but it's the reality. I just searched for "NASA" on google news, clicked the first thing not from JPL (https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/01/12/whos-who-in-nasas-next-space-race.aspx https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/01/12/whos-who-in-nasas-...) and it loaded 2.6MB cold cache. Fetched the same on the AMP Cache: https://www-fool-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.fool.com/amp/investing/2019/01/12/whos-who-in-nasas-next-space-race.aspx https://www-fool-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.fool.com/amp... 200KB cold cache. Removing the likely cached resources (amp javascript, fontawesome cdn font) and the payload is ~35KB. It's certainly possible to make a lightweight page, as hacker news is a great example, but people aren't doing it. For whatever reason, AMP seems to be effective at making the web actually follow best practices.
- grenadier21 8y agoNo it's not. All the AMP websites I've seen were just as bad as their non-AMP counterparts. Reddit's AMP pages in particular, are slow and immensely frustrating to use.
