Yes but the resolution of those "some images" depends on what kind of connection/device you're on. It's not adequate to say 'just send the lowest bandwidth experience', because then every desktop browser on a 5mbps connection would get blurry low-res images and Arial/Times New Roman text intended for iPhone 4 on a 2G connection.
- stan_rogers 10y agoI would always like to have locally-installed fonts in preference to web fonts, regardless of connection speed (Arial and Times New Roman are hardly the only options), and right-sized, well-compressed images (in the appropriate format for the image type) are essentially a solved problem.

An image with retina resolution is going to be pretty bulky if you want it to look crisp, even if you're doing a good job of optimizing. If you're on a bad connection you probably want non-retina and aggressive compression, even though it can introduce blurs and artifacts. That can give you a file over ten times smaller. One size does not fit all.
