Merged
Conversation
Cut img/ from 44 MB to 12 MB by resizing/recompressing images that actually load on the site and removing unreferenced dead weight. Referenced images: - Hero (lab-photo-02): 2.0 MB PNG -> 292 KB JPEG, max 1500px - Crandall headshot: 4.0 MB / 4032px -> 56 KB (displays at 150px) - Roberts06 headshot trimmed to 56 KB - DEI banner photo: 2.5 MB -> 644 KB, max 1600px - cod project image: PNG photo -> 132 KB JPEG - web-projects screenshots (dive/ocean/public-omics-watchtower): 1.4-1.6 MB each -> 320-492 KB, resized 1024px -> 600px - Post photos (asi/pw/bucket/enrich): PNG -> JPEG, ~300-600 KB each - marineomics: 640 KB -> 300 KB Photographic PNGs converted to JPEG and their references updated (index.qmd, research/cod.qmd, 5 post index.qmd files). Removed unreferenced files not loaded by any page (raven.gif, os.png, osbw.png, lab-photo-01.JPG). Kept lab-photo-20250213-unedited.JPG as a master original per request. Verified: all affected pages re-rendered; all optimized images return 200 with no broken links; hero/headshots/cards confirmed crisp in preview. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
