Image Compression for Photography Websites: Balancing Quality and Speed

Niche Applications

Photographers and artists need to showcase high-fidelity images, but that often clashes with performance demands. To maintain portfolio quality without frustrating visitors, use high-resolution originals judiciously: create optimized web versions in WebP or AVIF, use responsive <img> tags for device targeting, and employ gentle, lossless compression techniques. Implement lazy loading for galleries and defer non-critical assets. Consider CDN hosting for global reach and fast delivery. The right workflow will display your work beautifully—without slowing down your site or harming SEO.
