Optimizing Web Pages: Maximum Page Size
One of the important things to remember when designing web pages is their file size. The size of the page determines how fast it loads on the visitor's browser window. Expecting your visitors to wait till your web page loads is wishful thinking. The browser Back and Close buttons are just a click away.
So what would you like - a visitor that quickly leaves your web site as it's taking your web page ages to load because of all fancy graphics and flash animation or a visitor who will go through the page and maybe a few more on your web site? Put yourself in the visitors shoes, are you ready to wait more than 10 seconds for a web page to load? Obviously, you cannot control the bandwidth used by the visitor but you can surely work on optimizing your web pages so they load quickly - right?
Here we will look at some of the factors that determine web page file size and the maximum file size that you should aim for. The next article discusses on how to actually optimize a web page.
