Images can make or break a website’s experience. They bring life and personality — but if they’re too large, they slow everything down. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with different ways to reduce file size without losing that sharp, clean look.
One of my favorite tools right now is Squoosh by Google. It lets me preview compression in real time and export in formats like WebP or AVIF, which deliver high quality at a fraction of the file size. I’ve learned that even small adjustments to quality sliders or dimensions can make a big difference in loading speed.
Optimizing images isn’t just a technical task — it’s part of good design. A faster, lighter site feels smoother, more professional, and more enjoyable to use.
