When I say size I’m talking about bytes not pixels.
I’m curious if there is any consensus on what the maximum size should be for various categories. Specifically:
Size isn’t everything. What matters is performance. Better even: perceived performance. There are many ways to make a website feel faster than it really is. Some of these techniques can even increase your absolute page size in bytes (e.g. adding more javascript logic to it).
Test your websites with a tool like Yahoo! YSlow and stop focussing on page size. That’s just one factor of website performance and not even the most important one.
