Web Bloat Score (WebBS): Everyone knows that most of today's websites are "overweight", but there is no way to measure the amount of bloat.
Yes, you can discover check the total download size, but kbs or mgs are not the issue. For example, the results page search της Google είναι πολύ “υπέρβαρη” αν είναι πολύ μικρή (από 10K έως 464K), και μια σελίδα που είναι γεμάτη pictures it may not be overweight, even if it contains several megabytes.
Željko Švedić with the creation of a website offers a solution to the problem, as it provides a very simple score of bloat sites. The idea is simple.
The Web Bloat Score (WebBS) compares the size of the target page's size with the size of a page image in png.
Today there are websites with 3MB or even pages of 5MB and even quite common, although they seem to use more text than images.
Basically a non-"bloated" page should scoreis less than 1, and scores of less than 0.5 are certainly possible. Tim Berners-Lee's W3C page (one of the examples Švedić uses) gets a score of 0,204. "Inflated" websites with Google SERP naturally have a higher score, they get 7,38.
There are many obvious reasons for a page to swell. Interactive data of the page, JavaScript libraries, the Analytics infrastructure for user tracking and of course the ads.
As you understand removing all of the above, it is virtually impossible, but it can certainly lead to web sites that load and respond faster, which will please all users.
