jquery-size

This package uses the GitHub API to list the jQuery releases, downloads them using the jQuery CDN, and records their sizes into a CSV file.

Disclaimer: it’s not the file size, it’s how you use it. Sure, jQuery has gotten bigger over time, but every new release patches bugs and/or introduces new features. This [project] aims to demonstrate the importance of HTTP compression and minification.

Also note that jQuery 1.8 allows you to create custom builds containing only the modules you need, in case file size is an issue.

— Mathias Bynens
