why does the size of images matter when the compiled JS bloat is 60x what it should be?

if you're properly using content caching load times shouldn't be a problem at all, thus negating challenges to image file sizes.

and if you're using webp for HQ images you're better off using png or even jpg.

    I think you are talking about website hosting, which has nothing to do with my offline images. I have nothing to do with websites.

    But if you are talking about using it for publishing, some time ago I published a mobile app that shows an offline map for some mountain trails. All the map tiles were originally PNG and took 900MB, but I got them to 50MB as WebP tiles. That's quite a reduction, nobody would download a 900MB app!
