As soon as you include images and custom fonts it becomes really hard to keep things small.
I just measured my landing page which looks like every other SaaS landing page out there and it's 12KB of HTML/CSS and 202KB of illustrations and fonts (4*35KB illustrations, 2*25KB fonts).
- Ferret7446 4y agoI think having custom fonts disqualify you from the intent of this (avoiding extra bloat that has (near) zero impact on the content/value of the page).
- ad404b8a372f2b9 4y agoThat's a software engineering perspective, ask a designer if typography has zero impact. It was hard enough talking mine down from a 1000$/year license in favour of open fonts because of the way the Q and G were shaped differently...
- Ferret7446 4y agoIt should be up to the user what font they want to use.
- tasuki 4y ago> 12KB of HTML/CSS and 202KB of illustrations and fonts (435KB illustrations, 225KB fonts). That's reasonable. I don't care whether a website is 10kb or 200kb, I mind if it's 20mb of things which aren't even necessary.
- londons_explore 4y agoIf you compile your webpages, there are tools to remove from fonts any unicode codepoint and weights and ligatures you don't use. Many fonts get 90% smaller. For fonts only displayed small, you can also simplify curves to get further smaller.
