Are there any stats on the average size of a web page?

TIA,

Some quick statistics, based on the homepages of the different servers here:

find /home/*/public_html -name \*.html -ls | awk '{a++;s+=$7}END{printf("%8d files %8dK total size %8d bytes avg size\n", a, s/1024, s/a)}'

650 files 2453K total size 3865 bytes avg size
6725 files 19520K total size 2972 bytes avg size
854 files 3627K total size 4350 bytes avg size

Robbert,

Does your analysis include non HTML files? Especially images.

I noticed that on your homepage, you have a 27 KB gif image
as well as the html text.

Thanks,

Check out this cool tool for detecting and reporting on page size:

You can run it on the homepages of all the sites in your market to get
an idea of how big your page should be.

We have found it varies between different site categories.
