Firstly - welcome!

Great work on your portfolio and projects! I do hope you're open to some criticism though.

Imagine yourself being a visitor (even on dev.to) from a less privileged country when it comes to internet connection quality. Let's say the best you could muster is a Fast 3G connection. How annoyed would you be with this?
16 seconds

Let's assume you somehow, miraculously got a fiber connection (let's say 600/85, based on fast.com) and you revisit the page. You see this. How annoyed would you still be?
5 seconds

Do you see where I'm getting at?

Paul,

Thank you for your compliment and your feedback! I admit that I hadn't considered the load speed on different connections. I will have to look into the longer load times on slower connections. My first instinct is my picture files are probably a lot larger than they need to be. But I'm sure there are other factors at play. Thank you again and I appreciate you taking time to comment!
