My simple home page is 10 KB now. And you might not think that's such a big deal, but it has more content than Google's search page and that rings in at a couple MB IIRC. ๐
On the contrary! I absolutely loathe how bloated webpages have become over the last few decades, so it's very refreshing and laudable to see a webpage that tries to keep itself as small as possible.
How do I measure how much data my page loads? Now I'm curious

Thank you for the detailed answer!
If you can't answer this question you're doing it wrong. It should be as simple as "how large are the files in my web hosting folder". All this fucking tech stack bloat is so unnecessary.
In the developer tools in the Network tab. FF sums it up at the bottom of the list when you reload (e.g. for this page "24 requests, 4.74 MB transferred"). Chrome must have something similar. Be sure to check "Disable cache" in the devtools.
Chrome reports the memory a tab uses if you hover over the tab. Look at the task manager within your browser. Try clicking on the burger bar, then "More tools" and "Task Manager" within the browser.
Oh, I didn't know I could do this in DevTools! I figured I would need some other tool
