I opened it in a browser and hit F12, viewed the network panel and hit refresh... it is 3.41 MB.
You can do this on the web with Web Page Test... here's the result for the page in question: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/220523_AiDc6H_8YW/ https://www.webpagetest.org/result/220523_AiDc6H_8YW/
That page takes on average 20 seconds to display... and what it loads to show a tiny bit of text is pretty mind-blowing: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/220523_AiDc6H_8YW/1/details/#waterfall_view_step1 https://www.webpagetest.org/result/220523_AiDc6H_8YW/1/detai...
It shows 124 requests, and a total weight of 1,588KB sent across the network (some of which is compressed, so I think this is the reason the browser shows more weight)
