Average Web Page Size Triples Since 2003

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the just-the-freshmen-fifteen dept.

Andy King writes "Within the last five years, the size of the average web page has more than tripled, and the number of external objects has nearly doubled. While broadband users have experienced somewhat faster response times, narrowband users have been left behind." The article breaks down a number of changes besides just page size, including image types and video duration.

    Personally I don't give a shit about narrow-band users. I don't even give a shit about cable and ADSL-users. People should just get decent connections, not this shit which some people have to live with. ADSL was the worst invention ever and have ruined so much! People should have fresh black (?) fiber to their homes and the possibility to choose among a wealth of operators offering bandwidth for them.

    (And be able to HOST content at decent speeds aswell.)
