Me too. It's from a site called deepdreamgenerator. Anyone can type a
description and an image is made. Trouble is, a lot of people don't have the
brains to know they're not artistic, so keep the the best rated lists.
One more thing: you said once this site only puts 17kb in your bandwith, apart
from the image. That site easily logs 50mg, without opening any image.

Yep that's about right. I just had a check, there's about 29KB of HTML code on
this image/page; the image itself is 372KB. And that 29KB is served
compressed.
There's a bit more stuff by the time it loads some external CSS; but your
browser only downloads that once, eg we use a tool called Bootstrap and Font
Awesome which does some of the heavy lifting for us. Once it's downloaded those
CSS files though it's smooth sailing. Also, you may already have it cached from
other websites.
They also don't download from my servers, so costs me no bandwidth.
After that, there's 3 tiers of caching involved; from the actual core webservers
which host the image, there's caching proxies that sit in front of that to
reduce back end requests; then a caching pool that sit in front of them. And
THEN we use Cloudflare for global traffic direction and security, which ALSO
does image/CSS/etc caching.
One day I'll draw up a diagram of it all. It's especially complicated now
there's multiple international endpoints into the site. The site always was a
learning tool for a few of us.

I've no issue with what you've said, but deepdreamgenerator... watch that
bandwidth!

One site I won't be going back to is [
hintergrundbild.org]
The java scripts are not compatible with the modem we have (Liberal party's
NBN). It's not the only site. One thing I notice is the small file size for
the quality of resolution, at least in the later photos. Photos from other
sites can be 3x the size. .jpg2 perhaps?

Six months later and still one of the best photos on here.
