1kb for the entire site would be impressive! Would probably just do a single page of ASCII text written in shorthand for that.

They actually mean 1kb per page, which is pretty slick and decent even on dialup.



This is confusing me about the 1MB club. On the site under "submit" it says:

    The two rules for a web page to qualify as a member:

    Total website size (not just transferred data) must not exceed 1 megabyte
    The website must contain a reasonable amount of content / usefulness in order to be added - no sites with a simple line of text, etc.
The github repo just says:

    An exclusive members-only club for web pages weighing less than 1 megabyte

So which is it? Are sites with multiple pages under 1MB (but then the total for all pages exceeds 1MB) allowed, or must the entire site weigh in less than 1MB?


It seems really silly as this is extremely low bar to get, you can get there by accident if you "just" use plain html/css.

Then again in age of JS frameworks maybe it is an achievement for the new developer that was gaslighted into thinking 500MB of deps to make a simple site is normal
