SFDUG - Optimize your images to make your site load faster

Presentation

Optimize your images to make your site load faster

Your site speed is a crucial element of good UX, and an important part of technical SEO efforts. We often think of optimizing Drupal's speed in terms of accelerating the page rendering, but often the speed of Drupal sites is hurt even more by requiring visitors to download much bigger image files than are truly necessary.

In this session we'll review effective strategies to make your image files a fraction of their current size, and the core and contrib modules needed.
