WebSpace Requirements
Space depends upon the number of pages on your websites. If you have a standard 20 pages website usually one page will have an average size of 2MB . If page is more than 2MB it will take long time to load and your website will not be ranked higher. So optimizing the images to load your webpage is always a good idea.

WordPress Core installation is around 30.8 MB and theme size is anywhere from 1MB to 150 MB. Plugins for heaviest website will also go up to 150MB maximum.
If we consider maximum of all so below will be the calculation;
WordPress , Theme and Plugins = 250 MB
20 Pages standard website = 40 MB
Total standard Website Space Requirement = 290 MB
