Images and Core Web Vitals

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) often depends on hero images. Heavy files delay paint time and hurt rankings.

Strategy

1. Pick the right format (WebP/AVIF when possible).
2. Resize to display dimensions.
3. Compress with sensible quality.

Tool

Use Compress Image with quality and max-dimension sliders.

Summary

Smaller images improve SEO and user experience. Compression is not optional for competitive sites.
