Optimizing Images And Image Format
Renee
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.

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 ?
-
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 Renee

Accepted AnswerYeah 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

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

Accepted AnswerIf I may... some graphic formats are not supported by many browsers, so it may not be ideal solution for all webmaster/site owners.
For example: jpg2000: https://caniuse.com/jpeg2000
It's much better with webp (which we fully support in new SPPB): https://caniuse.com/?search=webp
