How do I optimize images when using a CDN with WordPress?

Optimizing images with a CDN involves several steps:

  • Compress images before uploading
  • Use appropriate image formats (WebP, JPEG, PNG)
  • Implement lazy loading
  • Enable CDN image optimization features

The Smush plugin can automatically optimize images and work seamlessly with your CDN. For best results:

  • Configure automatic image compression
  • Enable WebP conversion
  • Set up lazy loading
  • Use responsive images

Many CDN providers also offer additional image optimization features like automatic format conversion and responsive delivery. Combine these with WordPress’s built-in responsive image features for optimal performance. Remember to purge your CDN cache after making significant image optimizations.
