Hello,
“High resolution” is a term that has many meanings…but you should try to use “lower” resolution photos rather than “high” resolution photos on a web site.
But it’s a complicated subject.
I woul say that if you’re uploading images that are 5-7MB each, that is way too large.
Not only will you fill up your space allotment too fast, but your pages will take a long time to load with large images.
Here are some links that might help you:

As @manfrommars says it pays to optimize images for the web before uploading them. Another option would be to upgrade to a Personal plan which would double your storage capacity.
