I’ve just found this article about global pages sizes, its confirms some of the figures that I posted about the average size of homepages in New Zealand.

It seems that we are below the global average of 312K. The scary thing is that its grown from a 93K average in 2003! And the number of external files (JS, CSS, images) for a webpage has nearly doubled.

From the article.

“So the increase in the average speed of broadband has more than kept pace with the increase in the size and complexity of the average web page. That is one reason why broadband users expect faster response times. Yet narrowband users have experienced slower response times as web page size has increased.”

The article has some good info on, growth of media files, image sizes and average web page characteristics.
