← Back to BlogCommon errors abound in image optimization: uploading files at original camera resolution, saving twice-compressed JPEGs (leading to artifacts), relying on outdated formats, or skipping alt text and descriptive filenames. Avoid these by always sizing to display dimensions, choosing modern formats, using single-pass compression, and confirming quality before deployment. Regularly audit your media library, especially older uploads, and use automation tools to prevent regressions. A systematic approach to optimization slashes file size, preserves visual appeal, and prevents behind-the-scenes headaches.
