5 Tips For Faster Loading Web Sites

  • Compress your images the right way


    Saving your images with Photoshop and "save for web" doesn't mean they are optimized. There is more to image optimization than saving photos as Jpeg and navigation elements as PNG. Even lossless formats like PNG can often be compressed to 50% of it's original size without quality loss if you use the right software.



    I have successfully used the freely available OptiPNG. OptiPNG compresses PNG, GIF and other formats. It comes with source code for Unix or as a precompiled binary for Windows. Build instructions for Unix are found in the README. It is a command line tool and can be run with wildcards to automatically optimize all images in a given directory.
