imgmin is a CLI app uses a lossless mechanism to generate the
|
|
optimized images by manipulating pixel blocks. imgmin offers an
|
|
automated means for enforcing image quality as a standalone tool
|
|
and as a webserver module. imgmin determines the optimal balance of
|
|
image quality and filesize, often greatly reducing image size while
|
|
retaining quality for casual use, which translates into more efficient
|
|
use of storage and network bandwidth, which saves money and improves
|
|
user experience.
|
|
|
|
The JPEG quality settings most used by graphics professionals tend
|
|
to be highly conservative because Compression and image quality are
|
|
inversely proportional and graphics people are interested in utmost
|
|
visual quality and not in spending time worrying about network
|
|
efficiency.
|
|
|
|
The result of overly conservative JPEG compression and webservers'
|
|
inability to compress them any further means that many images on the
|
|
web are too large. JPEG's overwhelming popularity as the most common
|
|
image format means that many pages contain dozens of JPEG images.
|
|
|
|
These bloated images take longer to transfer, leading to extended load
|
|
time, which does not produce a good viewer experience.
