Priority Medium

Description Large images over a size threshold. Page speed is extremely important for users and SEO and often large resources such as images are one of the most common issues that slow down web pages. This filter simply acts as a general rule of thumb to help identify images that are fairly large in file size and may take longer to load. These should be considered for optimisation, alongside opportunities identified in the PageSpeed tab which uses the PSI API and Lighthouse to audit speed. This can help identify images that haven't been optimised in size, load offscreen, are unoptimised etc.

Resolution Uncompressed images bloat pages with unnecessary bytes, so ensure images are optimised with compression, properly scaled, and using the best image format to reduce file size where possible.

Hi. I've downsized the larger images from the WP image utility as the google sheet didn't include all the heavy images. I tried to avoid going under 1024px long edge unless I knew the image would appear in small on the site. Is it better now?

@siemsie If you have dealt with all the images on the list feel free to close the issue.
