That's great to hear!

Looks great, thanks! The standard webpage sizes were starting to get too hard on the eyes due to the lower resolution for a few years back. Makes skipping back and forth between comics for refreshing the memory so much easier on the eyes now.

Sen

Made some more progress: now every page all the way back to DS #89 has been updated!

Dan Franklin

No issues for me. I have Verizon FiOS, only the slightest additional delay loading.

OftenSane

Loads fine for me. Side note, please please please tell me you're going to sell the WizHard tank top. I want one so bad

Patrick Gamblin

No problems on my crappy Windows minicomputer.

Marius Ellingsen

No issues with load time, and agreed with everyone that say it's worth it!

Bernard

across the ocean, it takes 4.5s to load the image on 300MBps connection. Quality is noticeably better though and worth it. Top of image appears instantly, so probably most readers wont even see if the bottom is still loading.

Mike Chapman

Whole page loaded in less than a second. I do have very good internet, though.

Sen

I'd say 1900x1200 or under

allanfranta

What would you consider is lower res? Thanks!

Alex W

it loaded very quickly for me!

William Cole

Looks good on my iPad Air (new model) in the Patreon app. I can see the whole wizard collection clearly.

Michael Voorhis

Works fine for me; the images do take (a little) more time to load, but I don't think it is significant and I doubt the download-time is enough to annoy anyone. Spider Mod posted saying it took 10sec to download a page which is about as much as I'd want to wait (if I wasn't as invested in this story as I am -- personally I'll wait as much time as it takes). Thus, I think a valid question would be: if someone new is coming to the site for the first time, will the download times associated with binge-reading everything annoy those folks?

Sen

Thanks for the feedback! I'm going go slowly roll out the image upsizing. Currently Dark Science #158-153 are now his res!

Dylan Fox

Ditto! I've got Bay Area ethernet with 87.0 Mbps download speed for reference, loads within a second.

William McBrine

Works for me.

Hugh Eckert

Looks good!

Wtcher

Looks great on an iPhone 13 mini

Maxx

hires works better imo, especially with how densely packed the pages are

It's Lina

Loads just a touch slower than other pages, but definitely worth it for the visual upgrade!

Sen

That's a good point! It looks readable on my lower res side monitor but I'd like to hear more from people with lower res displays.

James Fraleigh

Loaded instantly and is crystal clear!

John Whitley

Looks great on a 5k external display, laptop display, and phone (all retina/hi-dpi), so 💯 from me. You'll also want feedback on how it looks on lower-DPI displays. Offhand, I think pretty much everything will come through fine, but I'd want to confirm the lighter line-weight text on the meal tray bubbles.
