The site is hosted on Format, a platform designed to showcase photography. Format provide quite an extensive range of templates but once you eliminate the templates devised for landscape photos, there are few options remaining. The images are all 800px wide and will reduce in scale to fit the browser window but should not scale upwards beyond 100%, so I’m not quite sure what is happening here.

If there is some way around that, it would be great.
I am experiencing similar load times on a slightly slower broadband connection. For example, the 77M image is 1.2MB so at that size the load time will be a second or two on a fast connection, and perhaps 5-6sec on slower connections. What I can do is run further tests with the vector to bitmap conversion to see if further efficiencies can be made without degrading visual output. So please bear with me on this.
