Qyuki's homepage takes more than 5 minutes to load. It has a size of more than 12MB. There was a 3 MB uncompressed image right on the Homepage. Whoever made this website really needs some optimization lessons

PS : I lost interest after 5 minutes, It might take longer and also have a bigger size

here is a pingdom analysis http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/q215oLm5R/qyuki.com



Seriously, they are actually using CSS to resize images rather then creating small sized thumbnails. The biggest Response object i got was 7.8 MB uncompressed image which was css resized to 24x24 pixels ,(So basically i am downloading a 3282 x 3282 image which is 7.8 mb , when i should be downloading a 24 x 24 px image which should be around 1.7 KB.
