← Back to BlogFor developers building in Next.js or other leading frameworks, image optimization is integral to site performance. Next.js provides out-of-the-box image components supporting responsive images, smart formats, and on-the-fly compression. Leverage these built-in tools to automate selection of optimal image dimensions and formats (WebP/AVIF). Enable lazy loading for below-the-fold content. Use third-party services or self-hosted solutions for further server-side optimization. Keep all dependencies updated, and profile image loading times to identify bottlenecks. By making image optimization a part of your CI/CD process, you guarantee consistently fast and scalable web applications.
