You'll need something that can parse and execute the webpage and keep track of all the content that is downloaded. Headless chrome, or phantom.js, or possibly even a real browser using selenium are possible options (not sure about that last one). That's the hardest part, but once you have that information, you can index it into Elasticsearch and visualize it however you like. You could even visualize each file separately, and look at the size by type (html, css, js, etc).

Also, just want to ask this, is there other way to check the frontpage size of website using the available beats I mean the shipper?
