I’m getting an error on my site [https://hr-vza-presentation.netlify.app/](https://hr-vza-presentation.netlify.app/)

It is a html presentation that I built in Quarto with revealjs format.

 ![error](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/netlify/original/3X/7/3/7398a10a18796d019f0050c2c00e96ee9bbc2e62.png)

Can anyone help explain what’s going on? It was built and deployed via RStudio but nothing is coming up.

I tried deleting my former deploy and redeploying: [https://cheerful-travesseiro-262770.netlify.app/](https://cheerful-travesseiro-262770.netlify.app/)

still getting the same error.

I’m having trouble uploading a more recent version of this site to netlify through the Rstudio terminal. It is just hanging on Uploading files…

Is the issue that the site is over 100mb?

Hi @ericvmai

The answer to the quoted question above has been aswered in the forum post below.  
Kindly check it out.

> Hi, Does Netlify free plan allows only sites which weights up to 100MB per site ? I don’t see this condition on the website, but one of the developer working on open-source project told me. However, he also told me he was able to upload a website which weights 110MB, so it must be an issue with Netlify API. Is that true ? Thanks, Ajeet

So this seemingly confirms that there is a 100MB per site limit. It would be great for Netlify to specify this! I was able to redeploy by getting my site under 100MB.

I’m not sure if you read that thread, but that thread specifically says there’s no limit. Quoting that thread:

> [@Free Plan Website Size Limit](https://answers.netlify.com/t/free-plan-website-size-limit/2084/24):
>
> To summarize, what was fixed was that newline could not appear in filenames and now they can. There was never a 100 MB limit.

I’m not sure what was the issue then. I brought my site down to below 100mb and it works now. Before it was 176mb or so.
