Why Compress Images?
Large images can significantly slow down your website's loading speed. This can lead to a poor user experience and can also negatively impact your website's ranking in search engine results. By compressing your images, you can reduce their file size without sacrificing too much quality, resulting in a faster and more efficient website.

Tips for Compressing Images
- Choose the right file format: For most images, JPEG is the best format as it offers a good balance between quality and file size. PNG is a good choice for images with transparency.
- Experiment with the quality setting: The ideal quality setting will depend on the image and its intended use. For web images, a quality setting of 70-80% is usually a good starting point.
- Consider the dimensions: If you are using the image on a website, make sure to resize it to the correct dimensions before uploading it. There's no need to upload a 4000px wide image if it's only going to be displayed at 800px wide.
