Optimize images using Photon for Google PageSpeeds

Hi there! Could you please let me know what exactly PageSpeed recommends?

It’s worth noting that Photon starts from the original image you’ve uploaded to your site. If that image is very large, Photon will optimize it but the image size will remain large. We don’t want to over-optimize or your images would look blurry, or grainy, or pixellated.

If you’re worried about the size of your images, I’d recommend checking their size before you upload them to your site. You can resize them with an image editor until you get to an acceptable size. Photon will then optimize things a bit more starting from that optimized image you upload to your site.

Hi! And thanks for your reply!

My site on Google PageSpeed is at: https://goo.gl/tLvgJW

I’m not really sure how I can fix the image optimization errors.

(there are lots of errors and I will try to fix one at the time :))

I’d suggest removing the images mentioned in the report, and replace them with smaller images. As Ryan mentioned Photon does optimize your images, but it’s always better to start from an image with a reasonable image size.

You could for example limit the size of these original images to a maximum of 1MB.

This should give you more tips to help you optimize your images before to upload them to your site:
