How to directly link to an image

If youre reading this you linked to an imgur album or a gfycat page instead of directly linking to the image. Loading the site wastes the time of everyone clicking your link when you only wanted to show them a image and they only wanted to see the image. The site doesnt add any value to anybody involved.

Take this link for example: https://imgur.com/a/xwTSWon

It takes you 2.7s (DOMContentLoaded) until you see the image.

Now with a direct link to the image: https://i.imgur.com/hC11Pkd.png

It only takes 34ms. Thats 79x faster.

But I dont know how to directly link to an image

Right click the image and select the appropriate entry.

Firefox:

Chrome OsKrappa:

But im using screenshot software that doesnt give direct links
