I'm studyng how to optimize my blog, so I'm adding content and I'm
watching other blogs.
I asked to www.websiteoptimization.com to analize a famous blog. The
report isn't like I expected:


* TOTAL_HTML - Congratulations, the total number of HTML files on
this page (including the main HTML file) is 1 which most browsers can
multithread. Minimizing HTTP requests is key for web site optimization.
* TOTAL_OBJECTS - Warning! The total number of objects on this page
is 29 - consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine,
refine, and optimize your external objects. Replace graphic rollovers
with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.
* TOTAL_IMAGES - Warning! The total number of images on this page
is 12 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine,
refine, and optimize your graphics. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS
rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.
* TOTAL_CSS - Caution. The total number of external CSS files on
this page is 5 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number.
Combine, refine, and optimize your external CSS files. Ideally you
should have one (or even embed CSS for high-traffic pages) on your pages.
* TOTAL_MULTIM - Congratulations, the total number of external
multimedia files on this page is 2 .
* TOTAL_SIZE - Warning! The total size of this page is 224623
bytes, which will load in 50.57 seconds on a 56Kbps modem. Consider
reducing total page size to less than 30K to achieve sub eight second
response times on 56K connections. Pages over 100K exceed most attention
thresholds at 56Kbps, even with feedback. Consider contacting us about
our optimization services.
* TOTAL_SCRIPT - Warning! The total number of external script files
on this page is 8 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number.
Combine, refine, and optimize your external script files. Ideally you
should have one (or even embed scripts for high-traffic pages) on your
pages.
* HTML_SIZE - Warning! The total size of this HTML page is 111802
bytes, which is over 100K! Consider optimizing your HTML and eliminating
unnecessary content and features.
* IMAGES_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your images is 60813
bytes, which is over 30K. Consider optimizing your images for size,
combining them, and replacing graphic rollovers with CSS.
* SCRIPT_SIZE - Warning! The total size of external your scripts is
40910 bytes, which is over 8K. Consider optimizing your scripts for
size, combining them, and using compression where appropriate for any
scripts placed in the HEAD of your documents.
* CSS_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your external CSS is 9668
bytes, which is over 8K. Consider optimizing your CSS for size by
eliminating whitespace, using shorthand notation, and combining multiple
CSS files where appropriate.
* MULTIM_SIZE - Congratulations, the total size of all your
external multimedia files is 1430 bytes, which is less than 4K.

How could a blog like this to be famous?

Because that "optimiser" report is simplistic and rather obsolete.
Mainly though it's because you're reading far too much into a crude
report based on simply "weighing" the size of the site.

That's like weighting two novels to decide that War and Peace is a
better book than something by Jeffrey Archer. It might even give the
right answer sometimes, but the logic is unreliable.

I don't understand why you are surprised.
Do you really think that technical matters make a blog famous?

This report is about tech stuff like the amound of external files and
the total size of the CSS-files.
Nobody in the general public cares about that.

Yeah, but I thought website optimization in search engine ranking.
Or do I mistake?

I have no idea.
But when I search for something I take a look at a lot of the results,
not only the first or the top ten.
If there's a blog I want to return to regularly, I doubt it came to my
attention through a search action. More probably I read about it in a
newsgroup or a link on some site about the same subject.

Not the fisrt top ten, but the fisrt firty or the fisrt hundred?
But a bad optimization site doesn't mean bad donwload time, then don't
you lose viewers?
What does it make a website user-friendly? I like to see a bloglist not
too long, I feel more confortamble if I see a google search toolbar, to
see a wish list of a blog I appreciate. I hate content link. This is
what make to feel me more confortamble and it isn't what male a website
userfriendly.

It can, yes. But the two biggest factors in ranking are content and
inbound links. A famous blog will inevitably have plenty of both.
