Can someone help me find the page size checker by SpellMistake?

General

I was trying to use SpellMistake’s page size checker to check my website’s page weight and loading performance, but I can’t find the right tool or tell if it’s still available. I need help locating it or finding the correct page size checker so I can measure page size, improve site speed, and troubleshoot performance issues.

I looked for it a while back too. I do not think SpellMistake’s page size checker is live anymore, or at least it is not easy to find in any normal way.

If you want the same kind of check, use one of these:

  1. GTmetrix
    Shows total page size, request count, load time, Core Web Vitals.
  2. WebPageTest
    Gives page weight, waterfall, TTFB, render data.
  3. Google PageSpeed Insights
    Good for lab data and Core Web Vitals, less focused on raw page size.
  4. Pingdom Tools
    Simple view of page size and requests.

If your goal is page weight, WebPageTest and GTmetrix are the closest fit.

Quick check process:

  1. Enter your URL.
  2. Look for Total Page Size or Page Weight.
  3. Check number of requests.
  4. Find large files, usually images, JS, CSS, fonts.
  5. Aim for fewer requests and lower MB size.

Example, if your homepage is 5.2 MB with 140 requests, that’s heavy. If you trim images and unused scripts, you might get it under 2 MB. That often helps load time a lot.

If you want, post the URL and people here cn point you to the exact metric screeen.

I poked around for that too, and I’m pretty sure the SpellMistake checker is either gone, moved, or buried in some forgotten archive. So yeah, @byteguru is probably right on that part.

Where I kinda disagree is this: if you only want “page size,” you do not even need a third-party checker first.

Open your site in Chrome:

  1. Press F12
  2. Go to Network
  3. Reload the page
  4. Look at the bottom for total transferred size and request count
  5. Sort by Size to catch the fat files fast

That’s often more useful than old web tools because you see the actual culprits right away. Also check the Coverage tab if you want to spot unused CSS/JS. If SpellMistake had a tool, this is basically the modern DIY version, and tbh it’s more honest.
