Just an aside: the header image on the FairPhone homepage is nearly 750kb.
Why do companies feel the need to add such bloated images to their homepages even when the image adds nothing to the user experience?
- Majestic121 7y agoI don't think it's about a need to add bloated images, it's actually reverse : putting the full unoptimized version of an image is the default, and they don't take the time to improve this because they don't feel the need to (or they may have other things priorised)
- puranjay 7y agoRegardless of whether they feel the need to or not, it makes for a bad user-experience. Not everyone is using broadband. Running the image through a basic compression tool reduces the size by nearly 350kb.
