Image Optimising

The need for speed.

For those who have seen my site, you would have noticed it contains some big images.

Lets cover the 2 big ones.

• The header image
• The background image

So the size they were being hosted on my site:

• Header = 226kb
• background = 658kb

Having played around with a number of tools to get them smaller without a noticeable loss in quality I discovered:
TinyPNG – Compress WebP, PNG and JPEG images intelligently

Ignore the png in the title, it converts jpg files as well.

After using this site my new image sizes are:

• Header = 59.2kb
• Background = 130.5kb

This is a substantial decrease in size, and in turn a very noticeable performance boost.

thanks, It helps to decrease the loading time.
