quite a bit. most of my space is taken up by a full-res photograph for my first blog post and the Lainchan webring (which is decentralized; you host all the images and links urself). i generally try to keep pages under 300kb by using low resolution and bit-depth pngs, jpegs encoded using jpegli, an efficient jpeg encoder from the jpeg-xl project. or webps at a low quality setting (and i might start using avif) i no longer use webp for any new content, and i now use avif for much of the new content on my site.
at the end of the day, it's not the size of your site that matters, it's how well you're using that space that does. still, it's best to try to keep your pages lean. it helps with accessibility, website management and archival.
note: the outlined area in windirstat is just for the lainchan webring lol

This topic has me thinking, what are some ways I could make my site smaller?
don't use images that are unnecessarily large, use svgs for media that needs to look crisp at all sizes, try using avif for images, av1 for videos and opus at 64-128kbps for audio (unless you care about mac users in which you should just use mp3 at a vbr preset between 1 and 6) create effects in css/javascript instead of prerendering them as images. oh yea also for the love of god please do not use javascript frameworks for personal websites.

mine's currently about 9.84MB, mostly from unused buttons/stamps/blinkies i used to hoard ... i was typing this, but then i got distracted - fixated on getting rid of bloat on my site lmao now it's only 8.07MB  i kinda like how small it is actually. no cookies, no JS, i mostly just need another place to hold my files and prune my code once again.
