Compressing images


Recommended Posts

This is a good site for compressing images (http://compressjpeg.com). It's simple to use.

I have an image gallery type site and I've been using this to compress images down to around -70% of the original image file sizes.

I've got one page with about 100 images, loads pretty good. Basically knocked off 70% of the bandwidth just from compressing images.

These images/pages are loading fast and trust me that's good considering I have slow DSL.

Another decent tool is https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ - one of the things I like about this one is that it will automatically optimize images and minify CSS and JS and zip them up ready for download (near the bottom of the page after running Insights).

For my own scripts, I prefer doing it (optimizing) as part of the upload process using PHP's GD Library - the results are always excellent.
