A part of SEO that you do not hear about too often is the size of a webpage. I am talking about literal filesize of each individual page that  a Search Engine will crawl. This is important because Search Engines crawl your webpage and cache the information onto their servers. So you can imagine if they did not set parameters on filesizes for caching, they could easily overload their servers in a heartbeat. So, Search Engines such as Google will not cache your webpage if it exceeds a specific amount. What those amounts are i’m not exactly sure. But according to Rand Fishkin from SEOmoz.org, web pages greater than 150K in size are typically not fully cached.

So there you have it. Keep them under 150K and you should be fine. I can’t imagine that this is too hard to do. I’ve never created a web page before that is larger than that size. It seams that this file size could easily be exceeded if you have tons of content on a single page, in which case you would need to plan a better way to organize that content or trim it down so there is not so much on just one page.

Remember also, a smaller web page file size also means a faster download speed for users. Don’t make visitors wait to see your content. Make it easily accessible through speed by keeping a small file size. To get a literal gauge of filesizes and web pages, check out my company website http://evolveapproach.com. Browse through some of the pages that I have there. Currently the approximate file size for each page on that website is 6K!
