Snake Oil in Image Compression
On 6th September 2016 at The Financial Times as part of Snake Oil in Image Compression
Well compressed images are necessary for good website performance. There are lots of tools and image formats that promise improving performance, but which ones are really the best? I'm going to present best practices for lossy compression, and — in a meta twist — I'll show you tools that you can use to evaluate performance of tools for image performance. All that so you can make your images have higher quality *and* load faster at the same time.
