On average, the size of a website triples every ~5 years. Nowadays there are lots of really fat websites with tons of resources. Personally, I think that's kinda convenient. This way it's a lot easier to make sites which are much faster than those of the competition. More and more people start to merge all of their CSS and all of their JS files, then they minify them, and finally the whole thing is gzipped. This surely helps a lot. However, their sites still continue to grow, because they continue to add more and more crap.
