Our very own meryln, wrote a column all about calculating the size and hence download time for a given web page. You can read all about it here, however be aware that it is not complete, as it does not add the weight of a style sheet, nor can it take into account the weight of a image loaded via a style sheet, or ECMA Script call.

I tweaked the code to included linked style sheets, but it still ignores "@import"ed style sheets, and any image loaded via a style sheet or ECMA, as CSS and ECMA isn't parsed by any of the HTML parsers...

Update: NONE of the tools that parse HTML alone will give correct total-page sizes as they all miss scripting (ECMA, JavaScript etc. etc.) and CSS linked assets.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
