D'oh. Thank you for letting me know. All fixed now. Hopefully "exploded button" wasn't too misleading (more of an exploded view of the design).

bro your images are giant. every load of the page is transferring 40ish MB. back_panel_back_render.png is 11.3 MB. replace those with smaller versions and click to link to the larger.. but I do see both cloudfront and cloudflare headers so not sure why these aren't being cached by them

Thanks for letting me know, I will have to fix this soon. This was the first post as part of a new blogging setup I'm using and clearly I'm missing some of my old processes (like image resizing).

They are photographic images saved as PNG, which is lossless and intended for digitally created images with large areas of pixels with the exact same value. Please use a format intended for photographic images. Splashflag.png is 4.5 MB, it's 10.5 MB as an uncompressed BMP file, but only 600 KB as a JPEG with indistinguishable quality loss.

They probably need the origin server to set the right cache headers, otherwise the cdn would get blamed for stale images
