- A table that gives ideal versus actual page size and JavaScript size: The ideal JS weight is under 365 kilobytes. The actual median JS weight is 650 kilobytes. The actual JS weight at the 90th percentile is 1825 kilobytes. The ideal total page weight is under 1.4 megabytes. The actual median page weight is 2.6 megabytes. The actual JS weight at the 90th percentile is 11.1 megabytes. (remote)
