Recommended file sizes for web


I am doing a web performance optimization using YSlow and Page Speed recomendations but when it comes to file sizes neither says anything about it.

Does anybody knows where I can get some recomendation of the max size of some file types?? For example images shouldn't be greater than XXX KB or something like that. But i need reliable sources not just suggestions. I mean XXX did some research and they recommend this or that.


Solution

  • I never stumble on any recommendations rather than common sense. A lot of small size files create a chatter, big files slow you down and can time-out. It really is what performance tuning is for - run your tests for your particular setup, there's no magic bullet
