Could the images be hosted in a CDN? (AWS S3 or similar) It is bearable to open one picture, but if you want to do a fast browse through the gallery it takes forever. Around 5 secs per picture, which is a lot for some new visitor, and will probably cause a very high bounce rate.
I don't have the fastest connection (10Mbit/sec) but I don't experience this with other sites (see attached basecamp screenshot as comparison). On a mobile device (on which Pharo's site gets appropriate layout), the image size and speed gets even worst given the multiple requests (with an added redirect for each one).
I think the reason is that the small images are actually full size ⦠299kb*4 is a lot. Marcus
