Increase page speed by compressing images

Images are one of the biggest culprits to slow loading times. In fact, on average, images make up 68% of a web page’s total weight. But even though many people know that page speed is an important SEO ranking factor, when it comes to optimization, the image size is often overlooked. One of the reasons for this is because if you are loading (and reloading) your website on your own computer or mobile device, the page has likely been cached.
