What's your site's content size? This site is 29.18% text context. Apparently, the rest is markup. Found via web-graphics.com.

The tool (wittingly called getContentSize) apparently does not include images or attached CSS, or javascript in it's analysis. I believe that considering it measures my total page size as 51131 bytes, where Phoenix tells me it's 55270 bytes. What it doesn't tell you is that I have around 250 (yes 250!) links on this site, and since it doesn't count those as text (<a href> is markup), I think I've done pretty well. Here are some interesting statistics for other sites (and lots of markup with little text):
