Pick the right formats
Prefer modern formats (WebP/AVIF) with fallbacks as needed. Use lossless only for UI assets or crisp line art.
Resize for real viewports
Never ship 4000px images into a 600px slot. Resize server-side or during build to realistic max widths.
Responsive images done right
Use srcset and sizes so browsers pick optimal variants. Lazy-load below-the-fold content.
Automate compression
Automate with CI or a CMS plugin. Keep original assets safe and regenerate variants when layouts change.
