 Folks, check the size of your profile image. Many folks are using massive 10MB gifs, some 50MB gifs. 

This takes seconds to load on mobile if it loads at all.

Your readers are wasting a lot of data simply trying to download your profile picture before reading your post.

Just as a reference, my profile pic is 800x800 pixels (which is super high resolution) and only consumes 57kb.
