Why image compression matters
Large images slow down pages and delay content rendering. Compressing images reduces the amount of data users must download while keeping visuals sharp.
Best practices for faster pages
- Resize images to the actual display dimensions before upload.
- Serve modern formats like WebP when possible.
- Compress images progressively rather than using maximum quality.
Using examples to compare results
Try a sample photo with different compression targets. You can often reduce a 2MB image to under 200KB with minimal visible difference.
