Want to know how to Serve Scaled Images and Optimize Your Images? We’ll show you how! As a conclusion to our What Does Optimizing Images Mean? post, we’ll show you how to actually solve your image optimization woes. This walkthrough is general enough to apply to most websites and platforms.
NOTE: This is just one way to scale and compress your images. There are many other methods that would work just as well.
Here’s how to get your images scaled and compressed:
Step 1) Analyze your site with GTmetrix
When the report is complete, look at your PageSpeed tab and click on “Serve scaled images”
