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.
