WordPress Image Optimization

Images are often among the largest resources on content-heavy pages.

Practical checklist

• Serve dimensions close to the displayed size.
• Compress appropriately for the image type.
• Avoid loading decorative media that adds little value.
• Use modern formats when your workflow supports them.
• Check hero images on mobile, not only desktop.

Measure the complete page

Performance work should be validated on representative pages after your normal plugins, scripts and content are present.
