Costco Flyer & Costco Sale Items for Apr 29 – May 5, 2024 for BC, AB, SK, MB

Downloading is much quicker while image quality remains very good.  Looks like each image has decreased from ~800Kb to  ~150Kb. If you calculate using 50 images downloaded (although I strongly suspect there is more than 50 images for each post) that’s ~40Gb vs ~7.5Gb of downloaded data.  That is a lot of data for the server to transfer for each person downloading (viewing)  ALL the images for each post. In this case, the server, when busy, maybe throttling this data. Users looking at the post will see delays as each image loads depending on their internet speed and the processing that has to occur for the device to display the image(s).

I would suggest if there are few people complaining about image quality that you consider reducing the file size even further. Personally, I think the only time image resolution is a consideration is when looking at the labels, on for example meats, and then only to get a feeling of the general size of the how much I’m buying.

For those not complaining, the benefit to them is the speed to open each image and they will greatly reduce their data consumption particularly when using expensive cell data but even when using less costly Wi-Fi.
