Description
Several image files in the public directory are excessively large, leading to significant performance degradation and slow page load times. Specifically, HeroBG.png is 15MB and Contribute.png is 4.3MB. These file sizes are not optimized for web usage and negatively impact user experience, especially on slower networks or mobile devices.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the website in a browser.
- Navigate to pages that load large images (e.g., homepage for HeroBG.png, contribute page for Contribute.png).
- Observe the network tab in developer tools or use a page speed insights tool.
Expected Behavior
Images should be optimized for web, resulting in faster page load times and a smoother user experience. File sizes should be significantly reduced without compromising visual quality.
Environment
- Browser: All
- Device: All
