Modern web bloat means some pages load 21MB of data - entry-level phones can't run some simple web pages, and some sites are harder to render than PUBG (www.tomshardware.com)

Press F12 to open the Debugger.
Click the "Network" tab
Press Ctrl+F5 to reaload the whole page (including previously cached files)
under the list of transfered files in the greyish bar above the debug console (if enabled...) you see the total number of requests the site made and the total filesize that has been transfered; lower is better.
