Is it because videos are mainly tierce assets? How to compare videos weight regarding other content type in that case?
Where is it you’re asking about? I can see video on the graph here:
Thank you @tunetheweb. I’ve already spotted this graph but it doesn’t quite answer my questioning as it tells us that the median video weight is 3.5Mo, which is more than the whole weight of median page. I’m looking for a way to compare video’s contribution to median page weight regarding other assets (HTML, css, js, images, others…).
PS : sorry for my pour English writing.
Ah OK. Yes you are correct it doesn’t show the breakdown in that way.
It’s more there to answer “what’s the average size of videos when it’s used on page” rather than “how much do videos make up the median size of web pages”
We delve into the data more in our Web Almanac publication and you can get an answer to your question here:
Video doesn’t show on this graph, but if you click the Three dots in the top right you can see the data behind that:
and viewing that you see this:
| percentile | client | total_kbytes | html_kbytes | js_kbytes | css_kbytes | img_kbytes | other_kbytes | html_doc_kbytes | font_kbytes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | desktop | 529 | 6 | 95 | 9 | 82 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 25 | desktop | 1,141 | 13 | 236 | 32 | 331 | 0 | 6 | 41 |
| 50 | desktop | 2,314 | 31 | 509 | 72 | 1,026 | 0 | 16 | 116 |
| 75 | desktop | 4,643 | 69 | 941 | 145 | 2,694 | 0 | 31 | 225 |
| 90 | desktop | 9,064 | 139 | 1,504 | 262 | 6,066 | 0 | 59 | 401 |
| 100 | desktop | 678,439 | 67,738 | 106,210 | 62,631 | 671,672 | 71,775 | 55,298 | 68,285 |
| 10 | mobile | 445 | 6 | 87 | 6 | 64 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 25 | mobile | 990 | 13 | 209 | 28 | 260 | 0 | 5 | 29 |
| 50 | mobile | 2,019 | 30 | 461 | 68 | 881 | 0 | 15 | 97 |
| 75 | mobile | 4,042 | 67 | 857 | 139 | 2,402 | 0 | 30 | 191 |
| 90 | mobile | 8,082 | 135 | 1,367 | 256 | 5,474 | 0 | 60 | 338 |
| 100 | mobile | 390,511 | 122,001 | 121,591 | 78,543 | 385,425 | 122,724 | 46,597 | 110,404 |
So the “other bytes” is zero for all but the 100th percentile.
This makes sense to me as video is not that common, and I’d be VERY surprised if half of the websites we check have a video on them. Hence the median will be 0.
This also shows why showing the graph in the way you’d like would not make for a very interesting graph!
