Looks like ~4 MB, I think that's a fair size to not throw up warnings about (unless I'm missing something in the Network view of dev tools w/o cache). That said I wonder what people consider the "Click to enlarge (may take a while to load)" courtesy size to be in 2024.

You got me!

The model was 176 MB. Total pageload transferred 182 MB.

It doesn't seem like "Disable cache" in the DevTools empties the Cache Storage.


I would probably consider 50 MB that size, or in the special case of metered connections 20 MB (for example downloading maps or so).


50 MB might be fine for desktops on effectively unlimited & high speed connections, but consider the case of a mobile user with a few GB of data per month. Might be unacceptable for them. Not sure how common that case is in the US, but certainly possible outside the US.
