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

Oof, my site's a chonky boy. I think it's around 1GB in total but only because most of the space is taken by high-res art and comicbooks PDFs, all of it being technically optional to download so it shouldn't be much of a problem for visitors. Despite the many walls of text I type as update/journal/character bio, my database is still incredibly lightweight compared to the folders in my file manager.

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.

My Website currently resides at 6.4M of which 6.3M are Images and Fonts.
That truly shows how much Storage Images actually requires compared to text.

mine's currently about 9.84MB, mostly from unused buttons/stamps/blinkies i used to hoard  :tongue:

...

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  :ha:
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.

About 1MB, I haven't added much in the way of flair yet, so the whole thing is essentially just simple HTML with a handful of CSS divs.

Mine, according to Cloudflare's scanning thingy: https://radar.cloudflare.com/scan/7a00c6d7-955c-4543-af96-ce4124a2245a/summary

I'm not sure if it counts every page or only index, though.

80.66 Mb but it's mostly because I use a lot of pictures. They're all in low res, resized and compressed but now there's so much. On comic-book is 1 cover and 5 pictures. I can't help because I feel it's important to show to the reader. In those 80 there's also a (not yet published) part that uses PNGs

78.23MB according to Neocities. Most of this must come from my food diary page. Tbh I had the luck of discovering advice about image compression here before I seriously started uploading pictures, which helped a lot with keeping this number down. I don't think I'm reaching that 50GB limit for a looong time.

I can't see the size of my individual sites, but both of them combined are 132.79MB at the moment! One of them is very image-heavy so I'm sure that one makes up the bulk of that.

My website size used to be around 40 MB. which was a lot of space, mostly because I didn't bother to downsize the image size, and as such it took a lot of space. About 2 months ago I decided to downsize all the image sizes on my site, and it went from 40 mb to 18!

I use a service called tinypng that is used to compress image file sizes, and retain the quality. I also changed all the non transparent pngs, to jpgs which also helped a lot.
