WHY TWICPICS?
Websites are heavier than ever, and the main culprits are media. They eat up network bandwidth and increase visitors' time waiting for pages to load. Because every passing tenth of a second reduces the overall conversion rate of your website, it dramatically impacts your brand's reputation and revenue online.
That is where TwicPics comes in.
