OK, I think I misunderstood you earlier. I will point out that you can probably squeeze out some better performance on the images using Cloudinary's transformations in the manner described in medium.com/@alon7/how-to-make-an-a... - essentially do an upload, q_auto down to a smaller size, then download and reupload to Squarespace.
Not as simple as it usually is to use Cloudinary unfortunately 😞but still might be worth your time if increasing speed is super valuable.
What Squarespace does for images (support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/a...) is definitely better than nothing, but they don't seem to do the more advanced stuff - reducing size for the same image without perceptibly degrading visual quality.
I'd recommend trying with an image or two, and seeing if you can drop down that 2.7MB by a few hundred kB at least.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the tip!
