What are the best practices for image optimization?
Some best practices for image optimization include: 1) Use the correct file format (JPEG for photographs, PNG for graphics with transparent backgrounds, WebP for modern browsers). 2) Resize images to the appropriate dimensions before uploading. 3) Compress images using lossless or lossy compression tools. 4) Remove unnecessary metadata from image files. 5) Automate image optimization using plugins or content delivery networks (CDNs). 6) Implement lazy loading to defer offscreen images. 7) Use responsive images and picture elements for different screen sizes.
