How can properly compressing and optimizing image and other static asset files genuinely help meaningfully reduce a Flutter web app's own overall total download size and improve its overall subsequent loading performance?

Just as with any other typical website, properly and appropriately compressing images to a genuinely reasonable file size, serving a genuinely modern, efficient image format such as WebP where it is actually genuinely well supported, and properly and correctly configuring your actual web server to serve every one of your static asset files with appropriate compression, such as gzip or brotli compression, all meaningfully help reduce your Flutter web app's own overall total download size, which directly and meaningfully translates into a genuinely noticeably faster overall loading experience, particularly and especially for users who are genuinely accessing your app over a considerably slower mobile network connection.
