I'm looking to increase the image sizes of the comic pages and am experimenting with the most recent page. Can you guys tell me if it's loading okay? (You may need to refresh the page)

Files

Dark Science #158 - Soup Time - Dresden Codak

That dang Bogan is working with him now??? Wait, who's him?

Comments

Orion Rhine

Looks good on Firefox Android.

xC_pat

Flawlessly for me.

Maia Godfrey

Loaded just fine for me on mobile.

Lonjil

Loaded fine on my phone. Though when I zoomed in to see the higher resolution I saw a few JPEG compression artifacts ;)

Spider Mod

It took about 10-ish seconds to fully load everything

Paul Cantrell

Loaded plenty fast for me, and it looks _gorgeous_

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.

James Fraleigh

Loaded instantly and is crystal clear!

dresdencodak

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.

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

Maxx

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

Wtcher

Looks great on an iPhone 13 mini

Dylan Fox

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

dresdencodak

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

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?

William Cole

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

Alex W

it loaded very quickly for me!

allanfranta

What would you consider is lower res? Thanks!

Mike Chapman

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

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.

Marius Ellingsen

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

Patrick Gamblin

No problems on my crappy Windows minicomputer.

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

Dan Franklin

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

dresdencodak

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

Orlet Soir

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.
