Optimize Image Compression #11

Some images are larger than necessary and page size can be reduced by 1-1.5mb through compression. See reports from Google PageSpeed and GTmetrix.

@THREELabs - Can I get FTP access so that I can download all the existing images and run them through an optimizer?

The best method for this approach would be to make use of a plugin called Smush Image Compression and Optimization.

With this you will be able to run the tool and it will scan and optimize them as much as it can be optimized.

Keep in mind, you may even run the tool, and retest and see that they are still not optimized, even though they have been.

I'm familiar with Smush and figured it might be useful in the future, but I was intending to use ImageOptim (a Mac app) and then let Smush process future uploads, but I can stick with just Smush instead.
