Images often account for the largest portion of a webpage's total byte size. Slow-loading images directly impact your Google Core Web Vitals and SEO rankings.
Why Optimization Matters
Large, uncompressed images frustrate users and increase bounce rates. By using our Image Optimizer, you can significantly reduce file sizes while maintaining visual clarity.
Step-by-Step Optimization Process
- Choose the Right Format: Use WebP for the best balance of quality and size, or JPEG for photographs.
- Resize Before Upload: Don't upload a 4000px image if it will only be displayed at 800px.
- Lossy vs. Lossless: Most web use cases benefit from lossy compression, which removes invisible data to save space.
