Unnecessarily large images in this satsig.net forum

Visitors to this forum are very welcome to include images in their messages, using this example format:

Code:

[img]https://yourwebsitename/filename.jpg[/img] 

Important note: Many visitors use mobile phone type devices and slow 4G connections.

This means they will get a disappointing and poor impression of your message if the file sizes of the images is too large.

A recent example had images totalling more than 1 Mbyte and took over 10 seconds to load. This is not acceptable.

Please note that in such blatant cases I download the relevant image and resave it using better compression. In the above case page load time on a slow 4G connection was reduced to under 2 seconds, which is acceptable.

If possible, please try to get your images no more than 600 pixels wide and compressed to well under 20k bytes per image.

The allowed image file types are: jpg gif png JPG PNG GIF

I will be trying to get webp image file type to work by modifying the software that runs this forum.

Best regards and welcome again to forum posters!.  Eric.
