> right-sized, well-compressed images (in the appropriate format for the image type) are essentially a solved problem.

An image with retina resolution is going to be pretty bulky if you want it to look crisp, even if you're doing a good job of optimizing.

If you're on a bad connection you probably want non-retina and aggressive compression, even though it can introduce blurs and artifacts. That can give you a file over ten times smaller.

One size does not fit all.
