Mod note: the first image in the post was 27000px wide, making it over 10MB large. I reduced it’s size to safe the poor data plans of our mobile connections and to make the post (and the frontpage) load a bit faster.
Given that the second image is with 17.581,14 KB also >10MB only doing that for the first image seems inconsistent. Maybe there’s a general plugin that manages images that takes care of such issues?
The first one was really important because it was shipped with every frontpage load, so I didn’t notice the second one.
We already compress images if you upload them to LW, but this post was cross posted, where we just take the HTML and copy it over, and we don’t have any fancy infrastructure set up to reupload and resize the images for that use case.

Ok, I now updated all the images in the post to be properly resized.
