What is the ideal size for a webpage?

This is a good one so go with 4MB
 
It is estimated that the average page size will be 4 MB in 2019. According to this Pingdom Webpage average 2017 report, the average 819 KB dedicated to video and 1818 KB for the image. Google recommends 500 KB considering that 1.49 MB takes seven seconds to load using the fast 3G connection.
 
I dont get it, why many people said 4MB is the best?
 
You come with really weird SEO Metrics ..

As long as you page loads in under than 3 seconds, you are good to go
 
Every niche has different needs. You need to match to your competitors to stay competitive.

Here are the recommendations that you must consider.
  1. Image Optimization: Use tools to compress images without significant quality loss. This can drastically reduce file sizes.
  2. Lazy Loading: Implement lazy loading for images and videos, so they only load when they come into the viewport, improving initial load times.
  3. Minify Resources: Reduce the size of your JavaScript and CSS files by minifying them, which can help decrease overall page weight.
  4. Content Delivery Network (CDN): Utilize a CDN to serve content faster by distributing it across multiple servers globally.
  5. Browser Caching: Enable caching to store frequently accessed resources locally on users' devices, speeding up repeat visits.
Hope that helps.

People said the best is under <1MB.
So your webpage loading speed is fast., and it gonna boost your SEO ranking.

My competitors average webpage size is 1-2MB too.

But its hard for me to do the same as I got lots of images, and javascript code.
If I remove all those images my website gonna be plain and left with only text. :/

The best I can do is 4MB.

The best anyway is 4MB so you're on the right track.

Keep it as low as you can. I would say, keep it within 200kb if possible. You can defer loading the heavy resources like images and js files. Once document is ready, you are free to loading 10 mb if you need to. Just make sure that the user experience (while loading the resources) is good.

Got it makes a lot of sense. Still figuring out how all this affects load speed really helpful to know it's about balance and user experience not just size thanks.
 
For a fast websie, aim for under 1MB. If your page is bigger due to images or scripts, try compressing them. This keeps the speed up while keeping your content.
 
4MB isn’t too bad if it’s optimized properly. You can try using next gen image formats (like WebP or AVIF), lazy loading, and code minification they make a big difference without removing visuals. I’ve seen pages go from 4MB to under 2MB just by optimizing assets.
 
Ideal size is whatever loads fast enough that users don't bounce—compress images, lazy load everything else, call it a day.

IMPOSSIBLE, I repeat, impossible to know. All websites serve a different purpose. Some need to show more images/media than others. Some are built differently. It's like saying: how many hairs should my head have?

Better focus on a fast first-paint and a fast page load RELATIVE to the content you're showing.

I have been working on a few client sites lately and honestly I am not sure what the right page size should be. I am glad you brought this up because I have been struggling with the same thing.
