See how http://gwan.ch/imgs/loan_lan.png is used in http://gwan.ch/imgs/style.css and
http://gwan.ch/index.html.
Those two methods have reduced the number of request sent to G-WAN from 20 to 5 for
the http://gwan.ch/index.html page, increasing the capacity of the server by a factor 4.
GIF has a low overhead and should be used for icons and other small images. PNG
works better for larger images because it compresses better but drags more fat. The JPG
format should be used with real-world photos.
Always reduce the number of colors to the smallest possible power of two (2, 4, 8, etc.)
that respects your image palette: doing so will significantly reduce the file size.
