1 page is more than enough for 6-7 years of experience

Just post what you’ve delivered. Declaring skills is all lies and sales-talk. Explain your actual experience and let that be judged.
As someone who does a lot of hiring, please do include a short professional summary at the top. If we're sifting over 100 CVs for a role, it's really useful for a first glance sift. In terms of single page, for 6-7 years that's probably plenty, but certainly no more than 2 pages. Anything that's not quantified, or reads like a job description rather than an outcome achieved, get rid of it.
Depends on how good your experience is. If it's not that good, you can probably fit onto one page (sounds like it might be here based on other comments?)
If you have top-tier / high-quality experiences, you need more space to explain the outcomes you've delivered. I've seen up to four or five pages for our top candidates.
Obviously don't fill it with fluff/nonsense. We see right through that and will immediately dock you. But you should take the space you need, proportional to the strength of your background.
Who knew resume page length would lead to such passionate debate..
I have 6 yoe as well. I chose to only list a subset of my projects (the most relevant or impactful ones) and it easily fits on one page. My structure is:
- Summary
- Work Exp (Generalized client roles)
- School
- Skills/Certs
Hell nah
Please don’t put a summary/list skills. Your past jobs are enough.
