Experimenting with higher resolution pages
I'm looking to increase the image sizes of the comic pages and am experimenting with the most recent page. Can you guys tell me if it's loading okay? (You may need to refresh the page)
Dark Science #158 - Soup Time - Dresden Codak (Dresden Codak)

Looks great, thanks! The standard webpage sizes were starting to get too hard on the eyes due to the lower resolution for a few years back. Makes skipping back and forth between comics for refreshing the memory so much easier on the eyes now.
That's great to hear!
No issues for me. I have Verizon FiOS, only the slightest additional delay loading.
Loads fine for me. Side note, please please please tell me you're going to sell the WizHard tank top. I want one so bad
No problems on my crappy Windows minicomputer.
No issues with load time, and agreed with everyone that say it's worth it!
across the ocean, it takes 4.5s to load the image on 300MBps connection. Quality is noticeably better though and worth it. Top of image appears instantly, so probably most readers wont even see if the bottom is still loading.
Whole page loaded in less than a second. I do have very good internet, though.
it loaded very quickly for me!
Looks good on my iPad Air (new model) in the Patreon app. I can see the whole wizard collection clearly.
Works fine for me; the images do take (a little) more time to load, but I don't think it is significant and I doubt the download-time is enough to annoy anyone. Spider Mod posted saying it took 10sec to download a page which is about as much as I'd want to wait (if I wasn't as invested in this story as I am -- personally I'll wait as much time as it takes). Thus, I think a valid question would be: if someone new is coming to the site for the first time, will the download times associated with binge-reading everything annoy those folks?
Thanks for the feedback! I'm going go slowly roll out the image upsizing. Currently Dark Science #158-153 are now his res!
Made some more progress: now every page all the way back to DS #89 has been updated!
Works for me.
Looks good!
Looks great on an iPhone 13 mini
hires works better imo, especially with how densely packed the pages are
Loads just a touch slower than other pages, but definitely worth it for the visual upgrade!
Ditto! I've got Bay Area ethernet with 87.0 Mbps download speed for reference, loads within a second.
Loaded instantly and is crystal clear!
Looks great on a 5k external display, laptop display, and phone (all retina/hi-dpi), so 💯 from me. You'll also want feedback on how it looks on lower-DPI displays. Offhand, I think pretty much everything will come through fine, but I'd want to confirm the lighter line-weight text on the meal tray bubbles.
That's a good point! It looks readable on my lower res side monitor but I'd like to hear more from people with lower res displays.
Loaded plenty fast for me, and it looks _gorgeous_
Working here
It took about 10-ish seconds to fully load everything
Looks good in Chrome
Loaded fine on my phone. Though when I zoomed in to see the higher resolution I saw a few JPEG compression artifacts ;)
Loaded just fine for me on mobile.
Flawlessly for me.
Looks good on Firefox Android.
Works for me~
