Many online news sites are now posting images in .webp file format that allows very large photos to load quickly. According to Wikipedia:

WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Using WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster. WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs.
This photo https://static01.nyt.com/images/2019...y=90&auto=webp which is about 1MB and has incredible detail is an example of one of these images.

I think this would be a good option to to have for website work. Especially with the current large screen sizes.
