I'm guilty of having fallen off the RSS bandwagon as Twitter grew and Google Reader was killed off. But over the past few years, I've gotten back into the groove of curating a list of small blogs in an RSS feed. Catching up on my feed is such a nice way to start the morning. It's always great to see a new piece show up from a writer you like, but who posts infrequently. The fracturing of social media made me want to post more on my own site, and I'm seeing more posts from others who feel the same. I'm hoping this trend continues.
14kB is a stretch goal, though trying to stick to the first 10 packets is a cool idea. A project I like that focuses on page size is 512kb.club [1] which is like a golf score for your site’s page size. My site [2] came in just over 71k when I measured before getting added (for all assets). This project also introduced me to Cloudflare Radar [3] which includes a great tool for site analysis/page sizing, but is mainly a general dashboard for the internet.
