Noticing the launcher takes quite a bit to load these days, well the site inside it, I can just skip it and load the game.
The page and media is at about 6.3 mb now, per load, mostly the hi res image update and the 'minecraft' looking ones.
Perhaps you could look at linking them instead?
Maybe also lowing the amount of stuff on the other tabs as well, could always link to older articles rather than leave em for each load (like December 2013, Sparta etc) there's something like 60 articles all up, loaded in the one page. Though hidden under the tabs, they are still loaded every time.
