Some constructive feedback to the site owner: Instead of having the webpage spend several minutes slowly loading thousands of barely-compressed 500x500 JPG images, please consider this advice: 1. Convert the images to WEBP or AVIF or at least run them through something like TinyPNG to compress them better. 2. Save two versions of each images; a 75x75 version that gets used for the 75px thumbnails shown on the page, a…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
So... a typical node.js page size then?
One doesn’t typically write a webpage in node
And it doesn't matter how typical or not, I'm referencing the case in point.

I recommend and use Cloudinary. Cloudinary can take care of all that for you!
For point 3:
You can add laoding="lazy" to the image tag, and get lazy loading for free, supported by the browser:

I once made a large pencil drawing of my living room using only words. Each word depicted a "thing" at the position I found it. It taught me a lot about what things are. A chair is obviously a separate entity and easy to list, but what about the floor and the separate floorboards? I listed the wall, but I didn't list the paint on the wall. The bookcase took a lot of effort, because I found that each book in it was a…
You could also run the drawing by an image generator and get a livingroom both like and unlike your own.

Copied from wiki:
"Every composite material object is made up of elementary particles, and the only such composite objects are living organisms. A consequence of this view is that everyday objects such as tables, chairs, cars, buildings, and clouds do not exist. While there seem to be such things, this is only because there are elementary particles arranged in specific ways. For example, where it seems that there is a chair, Van Inwagen says that there are only elementary particles arranged chairwise."
Interestingly, by her own admission Barbara Iweins (the artist whose work TFA features) self describes this project as being rooted in neurosis, specifically one that seems to be a response to lack of stability in her life.
Similar projects seem always to have an unbound quality... like the labors of Sisyphus. So I guess my question to her would be "how would you know that this project is complete?" Is it complete now? According to TFA it is, yet I suspect that even with all the effort she has put into it, the itch is not yet scratched.

That is some hardcore disassociation right there. Interesting that you use the word 'try' which implies that it requires effort to overcome the faith in the meaning of things.
