The big étale and Zariski topoi are generated by small sites
Grothendieck (SGA 4, Exposé VII, Corollaire 3.2) proves that if $X$ is a quasiseparated scheme then, although the étale site is not small, there exists a subsite of it which is small and has the same topos of sheaves. So the little étale topos is a well-defined category.
Now my questions are:
1) Can we please drop the quasiseparatedness hypothesis in some way? I'm afraid it is necessary to convert "locally of finite type+affine" into "of finite type" in the proof, but...
2) Does a similar argument work for the big étale site (and for the big Zariski site)? The point is that we lose that everything is locally finitely presented, so I think something more should be necessary, but I hope the conclusion is true as well.
Thank you in advance.

Could you quickly copy the SGA definition of the étale site here?

Of course. To be precise, it is the little étale site. The category is the full subcategory of $Sch/X$ (schemes over $X$) spanned by étale schemes over $X$. The coverings are jointly surjective families of étale morphisms, i.e. an object $Yto X$ is covered by a family ${alpha_i:Y_ito Y mbox{ over } X}$ if $bigcup alpha_i(Y_i)=Y$.
