What is an ideal web page size?

Google recommends keeping pages under 1 MB for optimal performance. Pages under 500 KB are considered excellent. Between 1-3 MB is acceptable but should be optimized. Over 3 MB is considered heavy and will negatively impact Core Web Vitals and SEO rankings.

How does page size affect SEO?

Page size directly affects loading speed, which is a confirmed Google ranking factor since 2010. Heavier pages score lower on Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) metrics that Google uses to rank pages. Studies show each additional second of loading time reduces conversion rates by approximately 7%.

How can I reduce my page size?

Key techniques: (1) Compress and convert images to WebP format (up to 80% smaller). (2) Minify and bundle CSS and JavaScript files. (3) Enable GZIP or Brotli compression on your server. (4) Use a CDN with aggressive caching. (5) Remove unused fonts and limit web font usage.
