"Show HN" posts are wonderful -- But throwing all the tracking parameters on the URL gives it a pretty strong marketing vibe.

  We usually take those off URLs. I've done so above. Actually there used to be code to do that in some cases, which we deleted in an overzealous bit of deletion, and have been meaning to restore.

I posted one of your share links into our Slack, and was really impressed with the image it found (your `meta property="og:image"`) & attached in the rich snippet! Nice work!

Even on the highest setting the difference is noticeable enough on a retina screen that I couldn't use this tool. Especially when imageOptim does such a good job. Cool concept though, get some more compression options and you have a real product here.

Does this work even if you have webp? Can you explain the errors in more detail. e.g : http://pageweight.imgix.com/jobs/fb65b0e2-c316-4555-8eef-638743512af5 http://pageweight.imgix.com/jobs/fb65b0e2-c316-4555-8eef-638... is what I got but not sure why/what happened

Imgix has good libraries that can automatically determine client device pixel ratio and other factors that make it easy to request the right sized image per client. I don't work for imgix or get paid by them, I just like their service.

Tried it with a few pages. Not a single one worked. Either it just stopped at some number like "258/290 images" or it gave me "There was an error processing ... Please try another URL." or it resulted in "We're sorry, but something went wrong.".

I have multiple images loaded through javascript. Any thoughts on how these could be included? https://pageweight.imgix.com/jobs/aaa64e22-5ce8-48ae-905c-7efd4a10720b/loading https://pageweight.imgix.com/jobs/aaa64e22-5ce8-48ae-905c-7e...
