Does a large image hamper application performance?

4

My banner has an image of 11mb, while location is all ok, but I wonder if when uploading this application will leave the same heavy.

Thank you in advance.

In Brazil, average internet speed mobile rotates 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 , downloading the image would take approximately 6 segundos , which can still be considered time consuming.

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

Remember that we no longer develop just for the PC platform, support for 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 up to 200mb.

If your website with an image is capable of consuming 5% of a franchise, this is certainly a problem.

Optimize your image for the web.
