Image Compression and Page Speed: Practical Wins

Start with the biggest wins: compress hero images and above‑the‑fold media. Next, convert to modern formats where supported and resize to exactly what your layout needs—no more. Lazy‑load below‑the‑fold assets and prefer aspect‑ratio boxes to reduce layout shifts.

Measure before and after. Even small percentage improvements compound across pages and sessions. By establishing a predictable workflow, teams can keep pages fast without compromising visual quality.
