Sorry for the off-topic comment, but I couldn't help but notice (and comment on) the noticeably slow-loading picture of Alex at the top, only to realize it's a 378KB 500x500 image[1] resized at render-time to 68x68.

I'm just surprised that a tech company like Stripe w/ such a polished site and attention to UX would not find a way to optimize this.
