LIL: Contribution to LMAC Gallery – Set #1, 8 Images

Tuesday, 2022-08-16

Hello LMAC community, this is my first image contribution to the LMAC image library free for use for all. I will try my best to contribute all images in the highest resolution and smallest file size possible. To do that, I first need to optimize all images before uploading them and I thought I would share the extra steps I take every time I make a post that contains images.

Why is it necessary to optimize an image for the web? What is image optimization?

The format and size of the images used on your website have a direct impact on the page load speed. The bigger the image file size, the slower the page load. Therefore it's necessary to optimize your image first. Image optimization is about reducing the file size as much as possible without sacrificing quality.

There are plenty of apps and free online tools to help you with image optimization. I use Optimizilla, and I have mentioned it in my previous post.

My first set of image contribution consists of 8 images with sizes specified.

File size comparison: on the left is the file size before optimization, and on the right is after optimization. The same images, the same size, but smaller file size.

Optimizilla compression rate 77% - 87%.
