Comment on Best web archiving software for complex sites and sites requiring logins?
N0x0n@lemmy.ml 5 weeks agoFor reddit, SingleFile HTML pages can be 20MB per file ! Which is huge for a simple discussion…
To reduce that bloated but still relevant site, redirect to any still working alternative like https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib or old reddit and decrease your file to less than 1MB/file.

SingleFile provides a faithful representation of the original webpage, so bloated webpages are indeed saved as bloated html files.
On the plus side you’re getting an exact copy, but on the downside an exact copy may not be necessary and takes a huge amount of space.

You’re right ! And because OP want to archive Reddit pages I propose a alternative to reduce that bloated site to a minimum :).
From my tests, it can go from 20MB to 700Bytes. IMO still big for a chat conversation but the readability from the alternative front-end is a + !
