Image Optimization by Optimole – Lazy Load, CDN, Convert WebP & AVIF: Breakdown
Image Optimization by Optimole is a complete image optimization solution for WordPress websites. It’s easy to set up and does not require any manual configuration to get started. Once activated, it will automatically optimize images you have uploaded. It starts with lazy loading, which is when the images on a page will only load as they enter the viewport, reducing the amount of time needed to download the entire web page and increasing speed. Additionally, it can deliver images via a high-performance global content delivery network (CDN), which means users will access copies of images hosted closer to them for faster page loads. Optimole also offers the option to convert images to WebP or AVIF formats. These formats provide better quality images for webpages and are much smaller in size. Optimole then applies a smart compression algorithm to make sure the images are optimized but still look sharp and clear. Finally, it can even make changes to themes and plugins to make sure they are optimized for the best performance.
