#23Interesting that a site that champions for performance has an ungodly favicon [0] that is 10x larger (15KB) than the page itself.
Re: 1MB Club
#241MB in size feels like an attempt to define “performant” without considering... performance. A speed test from an “average” connection that also measures first paint etc. would be much more meaningful: not all megabytes are equal. I love the idea, just needs a better measurement.
I think that's a little unfair tbh; there are plenty of places that already do that, but don't take account of the memory footprints on the clients machine etc.
I do agree that 1MB is arbitrary, but it's the right kind of arbitrary IMHO.

#25I’ve always had a project in mind for a bespoke search engine that only indexes pages smaller than 65kb.
There is a search engine that tries to do something like this... searches mainly for blogs and whatnot and I’m so sorry I can’t remember the name of it. :( Ironically you can google about and find it probably.
Is it https://wiby.me? If not, I'd love to know more!

They give folks on HN an opportunity for self promotion, what do you think will happen :)

What did they do to the scrolling!

#28In 2005 I had to fill in a form to request a page size exception for our election results map on the BBC News site. The page weight was going to be just a little under 400kb. At the time the size considered acceptable for the whole page (images and all) was 75kb.

What kind of an internet connection are you on that 15kb is significant?
Performance is important, but if your site is clocking in at 17kb then you're probably doing okay.
Re: 1MB Club
#30I previously suggested something a little bit along these lines. But what I thought would be better would be a distributed database and a browser extension that would measure load times (or maybe page size) and stability and automatically update it.
