2.4GB, but i think that's shared between three sites?

As of the date of writing this, my website, counting all the hidden pages, is 17.7MB. There are images that I have not yet fully compressed due to laziness.

The size on disk doesn't really matter. Mine is 18.9Gb but that's hundreds of pages and hopefully no one is ever going to ask for it all at once. Now and then I get site scrapers that do, but they're rare.
Optimizing everything really is important. There's plenty of other sites to go to if a particular site takes more than a minute to fully load or at least enough to be useable. None of our sites are worth skipping though! Here's what I do:
All the images are optimized. It's surprising how bad an image has to be before it looks awful on a website. A printer would just laugh at you if you gave them web optimized images.
The JavaScript and CSS files are minified. I tried to do that with the HTML files as well but some of them didn't display properly the last time I tried that.
After that, because I run my own little server there's some techy stuff that can be done but one of the biggest impacts was enabling GZip. My server GZips everything before it's sent. There's a tradeoff doing that and the browser unpacking the files and the time taken to actually transmit them, but it's usually worth it.
I've run loads of different tests against the server and the pages it serves. I think it's impossible to pass every test, and it's taken a while to get everything more or less right but the server is about as secure as I can make it without becoming unusable and the average page loads in less than a second and a half.
If anyone is interested, here's a list of tests I run against the computer - https://brisray.com/web/utilities.htm

I also wanted to add to this topic the fact that there's little mini-communities of people who have homepages with a certain small file size. For example, the 1MB Club, the 512kB club, the 250kB club, or the 1kB club.

~90 MB I believe, and most of that is taken up by photos from my gallery and a couple of other pages. Nowadays, I compress all my photos to at largest a megabyte, but I didn't used to. Also, I have quite a few GIFs that I've uploaded, though I don't use them all, and a tonne of buttons and blinkies for my button and blinkie archives. Though besides those two pages and my photo gallery, plus maybe another outlier or two, each page averages somewhere under a megabyte, so I don't believe my site is bloated or anything.
