The article criticises large sites saying that "[t]he average web page size now stands at around 2MB." but the page where the text is published is 1,5 MB itself. Its a bit sad, but probably makes the point precisely.

Including a stellar 378kB PNG image of 2776*1381 pixels, while it's only a small illustration in the article.

Wow. A quick and dirty vectorization yields an SVG of 9kB. The PNG even looks like it was originally an SVG with some linear gradients.

Even just running it through optipng results in a 58% reduction to 158KB!
