    Everything the browser will need to download "disturbs" the application, the more files and heavier these files are, the slower to load

    Complementing what @Danielcosta commented... Remember that we currently access web pages through Mobile and that usually have a 3g connection. Imagine how expensive it would be for this user to open your page since only your Banner is the size of an App.

  • Thanks guys, I’ll think about it and I picked the best way to do it.

In Brazil, the average speed of mobile internet revolves around 2 Mbps, this results in a download rate of approximately 256 KB/s. Your image weighs 11 MB, this would take approximately 44 segundos to download only your image.

Even for an internet of 15 Mbps, image download would take approximately 6 segundos, which can still be considered time-consuming.

You can check the performance of your application by some websites. Here is a list:

Remember that we no longer only develop for PC platform, give support for mobile phones and tablets is extremely important.

The issue of images is an important topic of responsive design. Imagine that there are people out there who access your page through the data plan. In Brazil we will find plans of 600mb, 400mb until 200mb.

If your website with an image is able to consume 5% of a franchise, this is certainly a problem.

Optimize your image for the web.
