We have 6 GIFs between 1.7 and 5 MB, and 15.73 MB in total. After executing gifsicle -O3 --no-extensions the total size is reduced only by 0.16 MB, so we're still left with 15 MB of GIFs. I'll try to optimize the images also, which take the rest of 7 MB. Thanks, Marius > > -- > Sergiu Dumitriu > http://purl.org/net/sergiu >
