I’ve just completed an audit of the 320 government websites as listed in the Government service directory.

The key findings are:

• The Average homepage size for NZ Govt site is 216.85K

• Largest homepage is 2442K
• Smallest homepage is 23.3K
• 84.3% of Govt Site use NO Web compression, 11.5% have some Web compression and only 4.7% use web compression
• Some sites are compressing CSS and Javascript but not the HTML.
• Bad design - one site uses 40 CSS files and another site uses 21 javascript files
• A number of sites have duplicate copies of some javascripts.

I’ll be posting the full report tomorrow.
