I find that this kind of web design is not conforting, it brings back memories of slow loading pages, scammy websites that download things without warning you.

At least back then pages were slow because the internet was slow. Now we have pages being slow because? Why?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why do you think it wouldn't work for a JPEG? I just made one like that, and it worked just fine.

> Why do you think it wouldn't work for a JPEG? I just made one like that, and it worked just fine. JPGs are lossy encodings; my use-case would definitely not work with JPGs, not matter how high you put the quality. For testing a display (like displaymate does) you literally want to light up specific pixels with specific colors. You can't do that with JPGs.

Did you actually test? I did it and it worked fine (and zooming in confirmed that the RGB bars are nicely preserved). Be sure to put your subsampling at 4:4:4.
