It is light on data. When we measured in October 2026, a first visit to a typical page loaded about 75 KB of the site’s own files (about 160 KB before compression). Later pages are lighter because your browser keeps the styles and fonts. This counts the site’s own files; analytics scripts from other services add a little more. The numbers on your phone may differ.

When you are ready for real trading
To buy real shares you need a licensed broker. Brokers usually ask for your CNIC and a bank account in your own name, and they help you set up the electronic account that holds your shares. The exact steps and documents differ by broker, so ask the broker you choose. Check on the PSX and SECP websites that the broker is licensed, and never send money to someone who promises returns.
Some brokers also offer demo accounts. If you want one, ask the broker what you must provide before you can use it. Pak Stock Exchange is independent of any broker and does not need one.
