- imgmin is a CLI app uses a lossless mechanism to generate the
- optimized images by manipulating pixel blocks. imgmin offers an
- automated means for enforcing image quality as a standalone tool
- and as a webserver module. imgmin determines the optimal balance of
- image quality and filesize, often greatly reducing image size while
- retaining quality for casual use, which translates into more efficient
- use of storage and network bandwidth, which saves money and improves
- user experience.
- The JPEG quality settings most used by graphics professionals tend
- to be highly conservative because Compression and image quality are
- inversely proportional and graphics people are interested in utmost
- visual quality and not in spending time worrying about network
- efficiency.
- The result of overly conservative JPEG compression and webservers'
- inability to compress them any further means that many images on the
- web are too large. JPEG's overwhelming popularity as the most common
- image format means that many pages contain dozens of JPEG images.
- These bloated images take longer to transfer, leading to extended load
- time, which does not produce a good viewer experience.
