Unless you're wanting people to save the images on the landing page, please optimize the images. WebP and only as big as they need to be rendered.

If I go to a service designed around images and it's taking 5 seconds on a SOLID fiber connection to fully download, it doesn't give me confidence that I'm going to get a fast experience in the rest of your site (even if it's not directly related).

It’s a great point. I had been using BunnyCDN to optimize the images/serve as webp, but there are a few on the model preview page that I definitely need to shrink further.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'd double check the main landing page—the very first image on the main landing page loaded very slowly for me.
