Large media assets are the primary cause of slow loading times and low Lighthouse performance scores. If your Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) takes more than 2.5 seconds, your conversion rates will drop, and search engines may lower your rankings.
Lossy vs Lossless Image Compression
Lossless compression reduces file sizes by removing metadata without altering image pixels. Lossy compression discards less noticeable pixel data to achieve much smaller file sizes, which is ideal for web usage.
Optimizing for Exact Sizes (e.g. 20KB, 50KB)
Government portals, application forms, and SSC/UPSC databases often require files to be under specific size limits (e.g. exactly 20KB or 50KB). Canvas scaling algorithms can automatically adjust quality parameters in a loop to match these requirements.
