Hi!
So there's 2 options when it comes to images, the way I see it.
1. use a cdn to host it
2. encode it in the LP itself base 64 (can be done here: http://www.base64-image.de/ )
My question is why use an extra call to a seperate file like an image and not encode it within the LP always? The image size is the same, so the only difference is the extra call for a resource (instead of making 1 call for the lp with the base 64 image inside of it you make 1 call for the lp and 1 call for the image).
What do you think? CDN or base 64?

fast TL;DR
- base64 encoding makes file sizes roughly 33% larger
- when having several images it is more likely that there will be a longer completely blank page instead of loading some stuff and then some more
- however you save http requests..
