How can I create a website under 15kb (file size)?

Question

I want to make a webpage that loads up quickly for everyone. I would like to keep the web page under 15kb. What can I do/use to get this done? 15kb is pretty small. Thanks.

Answer 1

Take this basic template and modify it in Notepad (or other text editor). Keep in mind that this simple HTML page below already takes up 148 bytes. And like the others said, the images should be kept to a minimum if you need to use them at all.











Or another alternative is to use Javascript (if you can assume Javascript will be used), and then encode the web page, so that it's compressed and is expanded when the browser opens up the window (this is for those that are a little more advanced of course).

Answer 2

If you need to keep it under 15k, well, that is a little bit low, but the only way you are going to accomplish that is by coding your own page (xhtml) and skipping out on any pictures or images.

I would not suggest using any image maps to direct users somewhere else, or anything else of that nature. If you must link, use the "a href" format to do this.

Leave it all in a strictly text format and you will easily accomplish your 15k goal.

Answer 3

You'll need to hand code the HTML in notepad or some other text editor I reckon. That way you control what is in the file completely. There's lots you can leave out if you aren't worried about being very standards compliant.

Use CSS for styling, use short style names. Avoid images unless you have loads of space left

Answer 4

Under 15k would pretty much have to be a plain text page. Problem is, if you are hosting this on a free hosting site, the ads that will be added to your page could easily increase the size to 100k or more.
