65854	About page 7.1: Optimize images served from CDN	peterwilsoncc		"The images served from s.w.org for the WordPress 7.1 about page are transferring 1.52MB compared to 125 kB for the WordPress 7.0 about page.

Even on a high speed domestic connection, this is causing a noticeable flash as the images are loaded.

I think these images can be optimized to require significantly less data:

* the four header images on each of the about sub pages
* the feature images on the main about page."	defect (bug)	new	normal	7.1	Help/About		normal				performance
