We spent a good amount of time compressing our blocking bundle size (html, JS, CSS), which actually is JS for the entire app, not just that page. Certainly have more work to do, but given the amount of code, our JS/CSS is pretty low.
I just compressed the large image and it dropped to ~430KB.
Meanwhile, the other large asset is the animated GIF, which I suppose we could switch to a looping webm/mp4. Was hard to reduce the GIF further and keep the same quality...
