Comment (by afercia):

 I've noticed the total weight of the ''About'' page is ''about'' 5.7 MB.
 That's a bit too much. Most notably:

 {{{
 twenty-nineteen.png  1.9 MB
 classic.png          1.0 MB
 gutenberg-sketch.png 758 KB
 three-3seconds.gif   651 KB
 ...
 }}}

 Is there any plan to optimize these images? Maybe consider to change them
 in .jpg? Ideally .webp for browsers that support it? Noting the previous
 releases About pages were optimized as much as possible and they were ina
 range between ~ 1.1 MB / ~ 1.7 MB (which is already a bit too much).
