optimizing Images and Image Format

Asked by Renee 5 years ago Last activity 5 years ago

I read a blog article on this site on optimizing images and have been reading on this...

I am debating image formats to use and ways to compress images on my site,
I have always understood png's to be best especially for photos as they are lossless

I have generally used png for all photos and graphics and https://tinypng.com/ for compression
I also have JCH Pro ([/b]installed and use it to compress images.

  1. I am now reading that Jpg and Jpeg's load faster and still look good and that new formats are even better such as jp2000 and WebP etc
    should I be starting to use these formats instead ? Will regular programs view convert to this format ?

  2. Thinking about whether my site would benefit using Cloudflare
    a. with what I already do (above) would this actually reduce image sixes improve load times?
    The site I am working on is primarily local to my state and the US so a cdn --even free cloudflare worth it

Thanks much I look forward to the "official" and non-official answers from more experienced developers

Yeah great post thats how I learned to use Tineypng

Does using image compression from a cdn improve on tineypng?

Is it better to use jpeg than png since they are smaller?

I assume the reason we dont use the new formats like Web P and Jpg2000 is the great tools like easyblog and sp pagebuilder aren't ready for them yet? Is that correct?
Thanks a million

CDN image doesn't compress from the page builder. It depends of your image size.
