The HTTP Archive Report collates information from almost half a million of the web's most popular websites. The latest figures indicate that average page weight has increased by 15% in one year to reach 1,953Kb -- a little under 2Mb -- and comprises 95 individual HTTP requests. While this is smaller than the 32% increase in 2013, it remains cause for concern. The report analyzes publicly-accessible content and shopping web sites rather than complex web applications and provides a breakdown of the technologies used:
| technology | end 2013 | end 2014 | increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTML | 57Kb | 59Kb | +4% |
| CSS | 46Kb | 57Kb | +24% |
| JavaScript | 276Kb | 295Kb | +7% |
| Images | 1,030Kb | 1,243Kb | +21% |
| Flash | 87Kb | 76Kb | -13% |
| Other | 205Kb | 223Kb | +9% |
| Total | 1,701Kb | 1,953Kb | +15% |
These are average figures; a large proportion of pages will have greater file sizes.
