asking a quick question before the (somewhat) monthly gallery update - is there any way to make images more optimised ? i suppose i could convert them all to webp but there is a sizeable number of images i would have to convert... any other suggestions or is there really no other good option?
i guess it depends on how large you want your art to be displayed. i always resize my stuff to 25% of the original file size and use jpeg (though webp would save more server space) so i guess it depends on whether or not u want them to be highres
i use opti-webp (you can find it on github) to bulk convert all the images i have in a folder to webp (you can even set a max width and height and put in a custom path to save all the new converted images). the only issue is you'll have to change all the names of the images in your code from .png to .webp, but if you use a code editor like visual studio code i'm pretty sure you can use find and replace to do that.
the gallery loads within a few seconds for me so we *are* fine, just thinking for future purposes
