Image file size influences more than just page speed—it shapes every user’s perception of your brand. Heavy images lead to sluggish load times, especially on mobile or slower connections, prompting higher bounce rates and lower engagement. Users expect instant access and smooth navigation, and just a few seconds of delay can drive them to competitors. By reducing image weight, you improve not only performance but also mobile friendliness, accessibility, and satisfaction. Strategic compression lets you maintain visual quality while creating a seamless, frustration-free digital journey. UX-forward web design always prioritizes fast, efficient images.
