just scale your pictures such that they are about 300-500 pixels wide, keeps the filesize and physical size nice and happy.

# Thank you :)
I need to work on my optimisation, I was unsure of how to reduce the physical size in Photoshop, I suppose I could have cropped it.

# When you come to save, if you go to File > Save for Web there are various optimisation options to get that file size down.
Edit: and for physical size, 'Image size' can be found under 'Image'

edit 2: or, when you use the crop tool you can specify the dimensions you want it to come out as.
