Image compression is the process of reducing the weight of the image by reducing the size of the image without affecting the quality too much. In this article, you will understand why adjusting the size of the image and the compression image is very important, and how to complete it easily without losing the quality.
Let’s sneak in!
Why do you need to compress large images into smaller sizes
One of the biggest trends of web design currently has large and beautiful images on your website. But when it comes to network performance, these large images are usually the culprit to slow down the speed of the website. If the implementation is incorrect, these images may contain larger files, resulting in higher HTTP requests for the browser.
The following are some benefits that can be obtained when compressed photos:

compressed images will increase speed
- , thereby bringing the best user experience. Google PageSpeed \u200b\u200bInsights recommends correcting the image size (especially for mobile devices) and delayed screen images (delay loading through application). If you want to shorten the load time, use webp and other formats.

Pass the pass Adjust the image size and compressed image,
You can reduce the page size and improve the performance indicators defined by Google
- , including Core Web Vitals. Optimizing your image also means reducing the time (interactive time index) that visitors must wait before interacting with your website and improve the speed of perception (first content drawing and maximum content drawing indicators).
Small image file size uses less bandwidth -your network and browser will definitely like this! Optimized images can usually bring the largest byte savings and performance improvements to your website:
The less bytes that the browser must , the less bandwidth competition -this means that the loading time is faster.
HTTP requests for large high -definition images also have a negative impact on performance. This is why you should reduce HTTP requests to speed up the speed of WordPress website.
Compressed image is necessary to improve performance, but on the other hand, you don’t want the image of the website to blur, right? The goal is to achieve the result of balance quality and optimization, as shown in the following example:

jpeg – 170 kb |
This will bring us to the next part: how to not lose and sacrifice quality Reduce the image size?
The two main matters to be considered are the compression types (damage and non -damage) and file formats you want to use (PNG, JPEG , PDF, etc.). You can see how the format affects the image size:Format and file size -Source: Selesti.com
In order to make full use of your PNG and JPEG images, there are many available tools. Some will help you complete all these tasks on behalf of yourself (such as: WordPress plug -in), and others can allow you to perform your own optimization (such as: Photoshop). This is our favorite tool list that can be used to compress JPEG or PNG images in batches. We divided them into two categories:
Category#1 -Image optimization web tools and and Software, used to optimize large PNG and JPEG images in batches
Category#2 -WordPress plug -in for batch adjustments and compress large PNG and JPEG images
Let us start from the first category.

You need to and install a free extension called \”Batch Image Processing Plugin (BIMP)\”. These steps are very simple.

If you want to save time, you don’t need to handle all formats and compression manually. Fortunately, Some plugins will automatically complete some of them for you!
This brings us to the second category: WordPress plug -in.
Category#2 -WordPress plug -in for batch adjustment and compressing large PNG and JPEG images
You can use one of the following WordPress plug -in to compress large images in batches, namely:
- Imagination (our free plug -in)
- Youpin
- Compressed JPEG and PNG (small PNG)

They all provide batch optimization, and most of them also follow GooglE’s suggestion converts your image to a webp format. For our case studies, we will use Imagify and focus on the steps that need to be complied with optimizing large images.
