At the risk of over-complicating things, perhaps there could be limits per resource type. 10Mb of images might be reasonable (e.g. for a photojournal), but only 128KB of JS, and 128KB for everything else. Something along those lines.
- SilasX 6y agoYeah I was surprised they included pictures in the limit at all -- I mean, sometimes, you need those pictures, and for them to load slower is less important so long as you don't need them to navigate the page.
- Aeolun 6y agoI’m not surprised. The whole point of it is that you can reasonably load it over 3g. If you have a few megs of images that never show up because they take too long to load, there is no point.
- phkahler 6y agoYou dont really need full size/resolution images on a web page.
- SilasX 6y agoYeah true but even with small images, you can hit that cap quickly.
- phponpcp 6y agoYou do for full width retina images on 1440p+ monitors.
- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoYou people are why some sites have ugly blurry logos/images on my 4k screen
- jan6 6y agomore the fault of the site devs for not using css media queries, or svg ;p
- Dylan16807 6y agoDoes getting in the club assume you have a low resolution screen? SVG only works in a few places.
- dylan604 6y agoIf you were able to calculate the space in the document flow for those images, I'm fine with the lazy loading. I hate when the page text appears rendered long enough that I start reading, but then lazily loaded items cause the flow to rearrange the text so that I lose my place.
- jan6 6y agoI imagine it should be pretty easy with javascript to set up dummy images, and replace them... probably also doable in pure css, just make them a block element or something, with a set size...
- corobo 6y agoWell if you need them you can't be a part of this 1MB club. It's not a bad thing, it's just a thing.
- z3t4 6y agoYou could use SVG images.
