Sizes reported in Site Summary Report

[David Patterson]

I have noticed ever since first starting to use FrontPage
2002 over a year ago that the size info on the site
summary doesn't seem reliable. I've updated to SP2 and
searched the Microsoft Knowledge Base, but haven't found
any mention of this problem.

The most glaring problem is that the report says "All
files" are 3,623KB, yet my "Slow pages" are 7,560KB! How
can the size of my slow pages exceed the size of my entire
site?

I have 5MB of web space from my ISP, so I would think I
would be able to publish my site without a problem as long
as my "All files" size isn't too close to 5MB (to allow
some space for overhead of FrontPage files on server).
I've found, however, that if my "All files" size
approaches even 4MB, I get errors when publishing my web
because of inadequate space. Is FrontPage overhead really
as high as 20% or more of my total space?

I have noticed this before as well. I look forward to the answer.

Files and pages are different
If all your pages use the same images (files) they are counted for each page to tell you the "page" size

PS - the FP numbers are just a relative guide
