Not only does this potentially waste precious data but may also negatively impact the user-experience as images may take longer to load and display, as “EXIF metadata appears before other information such as the frame containing the height and width of the image and the scans containing the image data itself”. That is the result of an analysis (from 2016) outlined in the article Impact of metadata on Image Performance. Image “metadata occupies 15.8% of the total image size on an average”.
