How heavy is your page?

Paste a page. We weigh it with Google's mobile test, list the biggest files, and show every site icon it has.

The full weigh-in uses Google's speed test, which takes up to 30 seconds.

  1. Reading the page and its icons
  2. Running Google's mobile test (up to 30 seconds)
  3. Adding up every file

Why page size matters

Every file on a page has to download before it feels finished: the code, the images, the fonts, the scripts for chat, tracking and reviews. On a good connection a heavy page is only a little slower. On a phone with two bars of signal, a 6 MB page can take ten seconds or more, and most people leave long before that.

What to do about a heavy page

  • Resize photos to the size they are shown at (rarely more than 2000 pixels wide) and save them as WebP. This alone often halves the page.
  • Replace video backgrounds and sliders with one good image.
  • Remove tracking, chat and widget scripts you no longer use.
  • Use one or two font weights, not six.

Favicons and app icons

The favicon appears in browser tabs and next to your site name in Google's mobile results. The apple-touch-icon is used when someone adds your site to an iPhone home screen. Both are small files, but missing ones make a site look unfinished.
