Image Compression & SEO Performance
Page speed is a direct ranking factor in Google's Core Web Vitals. Heavy images hurt your LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) score and drag down your search rankings. Compressing images before uploading to your site gives you:
- Higher PageSpeed Insights scores
- More organic traffic from Google
- Lower bounce rates and better UX
- Reduced hosting costs from lower bandwidth usage
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Always use WebP for web — up to 30% smaller than JPG at the same quality.
- Start with Medium compression and adjust based on the preview.
- Never recompress an already-compressed image — start from the original file.
- Use PNG or WebP for logos and icons that need transparency.
- Use JPG at 60-80% compression for photographs.
