Official statement
The 15 MB limit from Googlebot applies to the file after decompression, not to the size of the compressed file. If an HTML file exceeds this limit, even after compression, it's recommended to reduce its size by offloading CSS or other resources.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Qu'advient-il si le fichier HTML dépasse les 15 MB?
Google ne crawlera que les 15 premiers MB, ce qui peut laisser du contenu important non indexé.
La compression filete-elle cette limite?
Non, c'est la taille après décompression qui compte, donc la compression seule ne résout pas le problème.
Quelles ressources privilégier pour un audit?
Utilisez les outils tels que Google PageSpeed Insights ou GTmetrix pour analyser la taille des fichiers HTTP.
