    Hey guys. I have celebrity websites and i used to display the latest 25 news.
    I rank page 2 for the main keywords, and i just noticed that my "rivals" from page 1 show just about 12 posts...
    You think that having a 50kb website (like them) is better for SEO (in this case google) than having 80kb?

    I'm pretty sure you mean pages, not sites here, since 50KB for an entire site would mean one, maybe two, short pages at best (which would be indicative of a lack of content).

    But aside from keeping your page file sizes reasonably small (say under 100kb), there's no benefit or impact on file size as far as the search engines are concerned. If they can crawl it from head to foot, they will - and they'll consider all the content on the page, as well as its relevance to the topics that people are searching for and the semantic meaning of that content if they can (though that's not always the case).

    you file size under 100kb ,that should be same in SEO.

    in other way your page should be pass(ed) " validate " for SE.
    Add meta tag in header and big point is you content.

    if the contatent is more and good may get large sized. but if the big size due to more image not by content then no use

    Well,as i think page size of website should not be larger than 90 kb and page size actually depends on bandwidth of the hosting server means speed of the website....

    Original content is better than "displaying the latest 25 news".

    Not always. Weather updates, Amber Alerts, and other "useful information" can be pushed through via RSS and parsed into HTML via a server-side script.

    I'd hardly consider that to be duplicate content.

    As far as i know SEO page size won't matters any more,
    you need to have unique and quality content for getting better results in se's.

    Google really doesn't care that much about page sizes, but as I've said before and I'll say again, it's in your best interest to keep the file sizes as small as possible - not only will you be able to serve more pages to more people with the same resources, but if you exceed your allocated resources (such as bandwidth) you won't be paying anywhere near as much you would if you had bloated code.
