Modern web bloat means some pages load 21MB of data - entry-level phones can't run some simple web pages, and some sites are harder to render than PUBG

      Estimating the general acceptable size for images or GIFs helps here. Images usually cap under 600-700 KB, while GIFs can go over 1-2 MB. Experiment with the number, or set it at 1200 KB maybe.

      I have mine at 50kb, and most things load, but I do get some images that don’t. Just play with it and increase it until the frequency you need to tap pictures to render them doesn’t piss you off anymore.
