Wow a 5.6 MB background image... It took me 13 seconds to load it on a 20 Mbps connection. And there we are worrying about how many Kb our JavaScript libs are.

- disiplus 10y agopeople are not even trying, this image could be a jpg of <=500kb with same quality. use png for icons, text, graphs , but save images as jpg. i see this many times, my rule is to never exceed 150 kb for those "retina" images
- dx034 10y agoThey seem to host on Google cloud, so if the story becomes popular enough here it could give them some incentive to change that, considering Google's traffic fees..
- sundvor 10y agoThat's completely nuts. Tried to upload it* to http://compresspng.com/ http://compresspng.com/ , and after what seemed like a few hours (Australian upload on cable is 100x slower than the download) I got a 72% reduction in size to 1604kb. That is, an identical image if you absolutely must insist on that quality. Without having a checked, I'd venture to say that a 200-300KB jpeg would look very close and more than good enough for the purposes of the article header. *) https://blog.coralproject.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hats.png https://blog.coralproject.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hat...
