For a level of truly super-simple questions.
I exported my entire Imgur account and I realized I've been using too many PNGs, inefficiently. I'm mostly just embedding images in-line, none of them maps or flags but mostly images of people, sometimes stills from movies or video. For instance the second to last image in this post is a screenshot from Tron: Legacy and it's 4.4 MB. Is that too big? I probably should've converted that to JPG/JPEG? Not a GIF, right? I've been backing up that thread and discovered this page 15 alone is 52 MB. That's too big, right? I probably should convert some PNG's to JPG, and resize some of the images to be smaller? Some of the other pages are 30 MB.
As far as I can tell, an image being too big is relevant mostly for 1) page load time time (particularly on mobile) and 2) when archiving the page locally (takes up more space). Is there any other reasons I should be concerned about these image sizes? Or should I not worry about it?
