Default Re: How can I reduce my heavy Page size?

Guys surely you are aware that the 100k size relates to the html and html alone. Flvs and swfs and JS can add to megabytes in size never mind 100k.
No, that's not right. The size is the sum of every file called in to create a page. On a page created from a database it's the sum of the html generated, the images used on the page in both background and from the html, the css, the javascript files, the flash files . . . everything (at least on first load, after that stuff that is in external files is cached.)

And if you don't believe me, test your pages out here:
