It would be awesome if it was like some type of service that COULD actually hammer down the bandwidth.

There are many pages on the internet that are bloated with stuff, and some of them are barely browsable without their images etc...so the annoyance for me isn't the visible things, but more so...how long before the simplistic parts of the site start to be visible (text or buttons).

Web developers need to remember that not every country has access to very nice and fast internet ;)

Alternatively, what we need, is a service that loads pages, and then filters through all the jpegs and other media formats etc and re-saves those to a lower quality (for instance a 500kb jpeg becomes 100kb, and a image with barely any colors becomes a smaller image format that can use color pallets?).

I guess though, such a service would cost heaps to run, and to make that free would be a hassle.

In the end, website programmers just need to have their service programmed so that browsers load the things in a better order, I reckon...if that is possible.
