(I keep noticing this, more and more websites are including unnecessarily huge images on top. This one has a 24 MP (6000×4000) header. At least it's a JPEG with "just" 5.83 MB, not a PNG.)

idk a nice high quality image of a Bumblebee queen seems suitable here

  • the holy patron saints of the internet gave us javascript and hyperlinks so that we could have both a gargantuan picture of a bee and a fast, responsive, small web transfer for discovering that gargantuan pictures' availability.

    people forget these blessings, and we are now forced to eat 6MB of bee.

    praise be the conscientious and adaptive-delivery-aware web engineer, amen.

  • You can totally serve a superlight image by default which embed an hyperlink that point to the higher resolution image for those wishing to see it.
