A website design is certainly not complete without great pictures and images, which say MUCH MORE than words can ever do!

However, great images can be problematic BECAUSE they are often heavy, and lots of heavy images will make a website slow to load, which is confirmed to negatively affect search engine rankings!!

But thankfully, it is possible to reduce image size by more than 70% without losing quality!

The Pic below is compressed from 3mb to 1mb.

Stay tuned! You will be intrigued!

This thread will showcase different web sites and how their pictures remain almost the same to the eye even after compression!
