connecting the dots; if this isn't what you meant then please feel free to revert, but with this edit I can accept the answer.

By not mentioning scaling before uploading (but mentioning other things before uploading, such as careful compression), it looks like you're saying to just use scaling at the client end and that leads to mobile users downloading huge images over slow connections and then throwing most of it away. | |
| Mar 4, 2019 at 3:55 | comment | added | wetcircuit | @DavidRicherby, the OP said she already scales the image down to ~800 - 1000px width. 10MP would be 4x that. | |
| Mar 3, 2019 at 23:01 | comment | added | David Richerby | OK but you're wasting a lot of download bandwidth by sending a 10MP image and telling the browser to downsize it to 2MP or even less. The image should still be appropriately sized before being uploaded to the blog. | |

Oh, so instead of trying to scale the image itself, use scaling in the img tag? I hadn't thought of that. (Also didn't know you could use percentages and not just pixels.)
