Lighthouse flagged about 500 KB of oversized images on a Framer site I built. Only about 29 KB of it was real.
Framer already serves scaled, compressed versions of uploaded images, so Lighthouse often overstates the saving.
On JAR'd, a Framer + Shopify shop, only 2 images could safely shrink. I checked what was actually being served before changing anything.
Before you spend an afternoon fixing oversized images in Framer, open the network tab and look at what the browser really downloads.
Do you trust the Lighthouse image warnings, or check first?
Good catch on the 500 KB vs 29 KB gap. Lighthouse warnings make clients panic over things that are not real problems, so this is useful to know when explaining scores.

New here, so I'm slowly filling in my portfolio and getting to know the place. So far I like it.
Here's an extract from Software Intelligence, a Framer site I designed and built a few months ago for an enterprise data consulting startup.
The visual idea mirrors what they do with data: compact blocks that animate, break apart and recompose, like charts taking shape. Few effects, all consistent, everything managed through the CMS.
If you have a minute, take a look at the full case study.
I'd love to know what you think, especially whether the motion supports the content or ends up overpowering it.
You're very welcome, Francesco — glad the note landed. The motion in that extract really does the heavy lifting for the content, so keep sharing your work here. Looking forward to seeing what's next from you. ✌️
