A 7MB png on that page (4418x3206) - that'll be the first thing I want to block…

Actually you won't since it doesn't provide the option to block images. I have yet to find the content blocker that does what I want, block everything by default let me whitelist individual features for individual sites (images, js from same domain, js from external domains). If anyone knows one that does this, please let me know. I'm willing to pay.

Seriously, there has to be a better was to embed image.

That 7MB png should be a jpg :)

Here I fixed it for you http://s27.postimg.org/pupcpnbkh/focus_blog.jpg

And it's still 7x larger then it needs to be.

Fwiw, Focus by Firefox allows ads on this postimg page. There's a pop up ad and banners at the top and bottom. Reloading the page redirects to another URL as if I had clicked an ad.

So you're judging the quality of an iOS app on how well-optimised the images on its website are?

This is not a website you're going to visit regularly, or probably even more than once (except to show all your friends how badly optimised this image is).

Based on this logic, I probably shouldn't have bought the car I have now, because the brochure was printed on really thick paper.

I see no quality-judging in that comment.

Yes. If you can't judge an app based on its website, why would anyone make a pretty, usable website? Its trivial to downsize that image based on browser or os.
