The loading speed is crucial for a website: not only will a page that is too slow scare away your visitors, but it will also penalize the site in terms of its natural referencing. In order to avoid this, all web designers know that it is essential to limit the weight of the elements displayed on the pages as much as possible.
Starting with the images which, despite their undeniable aesthetic interest, can slow down a site if they are too numerous or too heavy. Fortunately, it is possible to considerably reduce the weight of a photo while preserving good quality: this is precisely what the image compression tools that we present to you in this post allow you to do. Usable for free, they will help you optimize your files, whatever their format and size
