Love that. I know it took time to get one of those skull flashes.

Anyway, our image files from here on out should be around 80kb.

They can still be the same size image, just the compression has to change. If you're using Photoshop to edit them, there's a "Save for Web" option which will compress them way down without giving up too much quality. If you're using another program, let me know and we'll work out a solution for you.

My initial instinct was to save HQ images because I know how fans like to Photoshop and alter shots from the show so I figured that would help folks with that. Unfortunately the latest massive update to Google now reads this images as "Heavy" and it's hurting our SEO. I've started heavy compressing the news images and already seen an uptick in Google user conversion. I think if we start with our episode caps now, it will help us a little more. Once the season ends we can figure out how to convert the existing images that are currently too big.

Most of that will just focus on the header images in the short term since those are all that preload on mobile.

Anyway, let me know about your software and we'll figure it out.

Thanks again!
