Images are larger than recommended

[Evadon-Nathan]

Images for web should be maximum 2MB. Or ideally 500kb or less for optimum performance.

This can affect SEO as one of the criteria for the google quality score is determined by page load.

Here is the list of large images

• 26M ./news/validation-test.png

• 5.7M ./landing-hero/lh-1.jpeg

• 4.4M ./lwm2m/events.jpeg

• 3.5M ./news/utility2.jpeg

• 3.1M ./news/new_release.jpeg

• 3.0M ./utilities/utilities-1.png

• 3.0M ./news/test-event-raleigh.png

• 3.0M ./utilities/utilities-2.png

• 3.0M ./news/water_meters.png

• 2.4M ./news/bootstrapping.jpeg

• 2.4M ./news/iot_text_1.jpg

• 2.3M ./landing-hero/lh-3.jpeg

• 2.3M ./news/electric-meter.jpeg

• 2.2M ./utilities/utilities-4.png

• 2.2M ./omaspecworks/collaborate/WG-1.png

• 2.0M ./utilities/utilities-3.png

• 2.0M ./omaspecworks/collaborate/WG-2.png

More files that are too big:
2.4M 5 Feb 12:47 ./public/images/news/bootstrapping.jpeg
3.1M 5 Feb 12:47 ./public/images/landing-hero/innovation1.jpeg
3.5M 5 Feb 12:47 ./public/images/news/utility2.jpeg
4.2M 5 Feb 12:47 ./public/images/omaspecworks/standards.jpeg
4.9M 5 Feb 12:47 ./public/images/landing-hero/machine-learn.jpeg
7.2M 5 Feb 12:47 ./public/images/utilities/utilities-1.jpeg
7.8M 5 Feb 12:47 ./public/images/lwm2m/utility-lwm2m.jpeg

These are causing large amounts of bandwidth to be used by traffic to the server, as well as being over the recommended size of files for SEO and pages responsiveness.
