Do you know a way to calculate precisely the "weight" of a web page, AKA the total volume images + texts on an URL ?

Hi,

Write a script that puts the URL into a variable, get the length of the variable and parse the text to get all img tags and embedded objects. Put each additional URL into a variable and add its length to the previously recorded length(s). Repeat this for frames.

Or open a website in Firefox, press command-I (or control-I on Windows) and see the size listed on the General tab.

Kind regards,

Mark
