page-weight

Measure the total size of a web page and its resources, identify what slows loading, and reduce unnecessary weight. Use a 1500KB limit to guide image optimization, code compression, and removal of unused resources.

OriginalShow the original description

Use when auditing slow page loads, heavy assets, or rendering delays related to Keep page weight under 1500KB. Verify the actual bottleneck in DevTools, Lighthouse, or field data before recommending changes.

AI rating90/ 100See how to install

Good for

  • Investigating slow page loads on mobile networks
  • Checking total page size against a size budget
  • Reducing heavy images and JavaScript files
  • Identifying unnecessary resource requests

Overview

What it does

Measure the total data transferred to display a page, including images, JavaScript, and all other resources, and identify what makes loading slow. The skill guides image optimization, code minification, and removal of unnecessary resources, targeting less than 1500KB and ideally less than 500KB. Reviews identify the specific files, requests, or rendering steps causing problems and state the measurement method used to confirm them.

When it helps

Use it when a page loads slowly on mobile networks or when images and JavaScript have grown in size. It helps you decide which resources to reduce first. It also supports monitoring size limits in CI/CD, the processes used for continuous building and delivery.

Example requests

  • “Measure transfers for all resources and explain why this page exceeds 1500KB.”
  • “Check large images and unnecessary code, and reduce the page’s size.”
  • “Measure slow loading and explain what to improve and how you measured it.”

Notes

Confirm the cause using DevTools, Lighthouse, or data collected under actual usage conditions before proposing changes. Base revisions on measurements rather than assuming the size target alone identifies the cause.

Objective evaluation

AI rated this skill on four points using only the contents of its SKILL.md. Stars and popularity are not taken into account.

Clear instructionsIs it clear when to use it and what it does?
AGoodThe skill explicitly targets slow loading and checking total page weight against a 1500KB limit.
Concrete stepsAre steps, inputs, outputs, and examples spelled out?
AGoodIt specifies measuring all resources, reducing weight, and reporting exact problem files and the measurement method.
SafetyAre sending data, deleting files, and running commands disclosed?
BPartly lackingIt instructs removal of unnecessary resources but does not describe a procedure for confirming what may be removed.
Easy setupDoes it need few tools or API keys, and are they documented?
AGoodIt names DevTools, Lighthouse, or field data as measurement options and requires no API key.

The total counts each point as A = 25, B = 15, C = 5. Rated by AI (OpenAI Codex) as of Oct 23, 2026. Treat it as a guide and read the original before installing.

Keep page weight under 1500KB

Page weight directly correlates with load time—a 1.5MB page takes 3-5 seconds on 4G mobile. Every 100KB reduction improves user experience, especially on slower networks.

Quick Reference

  • Target under 500KB for optimal performance, max 1500KB
  • Images typically account for 50-70% of page weight
  • JavaScript bundles are often the second largest contributor
  • Monitor with performance budgets in CI/CD

Check

Analyze the total page weight including all resources. Check if it's under 1500KB (ideally under 500KB).

Fix

Optimize this page to reduce its total weight through image optimization, code minification, and removing unnecessary resources.

Explain

Explain how page weight impacts loading time, especially on mobile networks, and affects user experience.

Code Review

Review the routes, assets, and loading behavior that affect Keep page weight under 1500KB. Flag exact files, requests, or rendering steps that add unnecessary network, CPU, or layout cost, and describe the measurement method used to confirm the issue.
