Page Weight

Measures the total downloaded weight of the page and breaks it down by resource type, helping identify which assets consume the most bytes.

Why it matters

Heavy pages are slower to download, parse, and render, especially on mobile networks. Page weight often reveals whether JavaScript bundles, images, fonts, or third-party requests are dominating the experience.

Where to run it

Available automatically in Simple mode.

Can also be explored in more depth from the underlying WebPerf Snippets reference.
