What is image compression and why is it important?
Image compression is the process of reducing file size by removing unnecessary data while maintaining visual quality as much as possible. Using advanced compression algorithms like JPEG optimization and WebP technology, this process helps websites load faster, reduces bandwidth usage, and improves user experience. Effective compression can reduce file sizes by 50-90% without noticeable quality loss. Learn more about image compression and web performance optimization.
