An OptiPic plugin for image optimization in 5CMS provides an average of 70% of image reduction. This allows loading the site 1.5-2 times faster. The peak values for the optimization of images in 5CMS reach 90%. This provides more space on server disk and cuts expenses with no need for the purchase of disk quota.
Image optimization in 5CMS keeps working all the time of the website functioning due to the automatic optimization of newly added images. In fact it takes only 2 minutes to set up OptiPic service with no further involvement in its operations.
There are no restrictions in optimizing images for 5CMS. OptiPic provides excellent performance with a large number of images and is capable of handling gigabytes of files with minimal load on the service.
Image optimization is special processing of a graphic file in order to minimize its size without loss of visual quality.
To carry out this procedure, there are a large number of fairly complex algorithms. However, they are all based on the same basis - all the service data there (for example, the name of the program that stores the file, etc.) must be removed from the graphic file, and also, using special programs, merge / smooth similar colors.
As a result, we get the same image, which visually has not changed. However, the volume (weight) of this file in bytes will be much less than the original. If this processing is carried out correctly, the image file can be reduced to 98% without losing image quality.
This means that the pictures on the pages of the site will be loaded many times faster after the optimization.
It has been proven that website acceleration can improve behavioral factors, as well as increase website conversion (increase sales). The longer the page of the site loads, the fewer customers will be able to perform certain target actions there. If your site on the Internet will not work fast enough, you have every chance to miss your potential income. Acceleration of the online resource will provide an opportunity to improve the conversion and due to this significantly increase revenue and attract more customers.
A page of any site most often consists of:
Such an item as an image occupies most of the entire volume on the site’s pages and is the “heaviest” part of the pages. Reduction (optimization) of images will undoubtedly significantly make it faster to download any online resource.
Accordingly, if you change (down) the size of the images, all pages of the site will start loading much faster.
Compressing the images on the site will make it possible to reduce their volume to 75-98%, without losing their visual quality.
