Image Optimization

Rate this book
Images have always been a key part of the web. Our brains are able to interpret images much faster than text, which is why high-quality visuals drive conversions and user engagement.

That said, loading images efficiently at scale isn’t a little project for a quiet afternoon. It requires understanding of compression techniques, loading behavior, image decoding and image CDNs, adaptive media loading and caching.

This book will equip you with everything you need to know to optimize how you compress, serve and maintain images — boosting performance along the way.

This book is let down by, unfortunately, the images. Many of them are screenshots with large amounts of text squeezed down to 85mm wide and are practically unreadable. Image comparisons are similarly shrunk past the point they could be distinguished.
