Do you mean KB or do you have a 1GB website??

  They are most likely referring to the overall size of the whole website including all generated HTML for posts, static content, styles etc.

    1gb is huge even for a whole website. Unless there are videos or hundred of high definition photos. Curious to know what makes up this space.

      Maybe they included node_modules in that count.

  I guess mostly picture. If you have 500 posts, one picture for each, and then optimize image for responsive and browser compatibility, there should be 3 to 12 images per image source set: Mobile, Tablet, Desktop as breakpoints / AVIF with webp or jpeg fallback, Retina/Normal. And this will increase the overall-size to 12 x 500 x 50kB = 300MB

    I doubt there's a practical reason for an average website, especially something blog-like to have pre-optimized pictures for that many screen types.

  It is a 991MB website, before optimisations. The large majority of this comes from large header images for the Insights post content: https://www.magiclasso.co/insights/ https://www.magiclasso.co/insights/ These are png images that are relatively large in size until optimisation creates smaller, multiple image set versions. I wouldn't say that this is an unusually large site. Any site with a medium amount of content would likely grow to such a size.
