Developer Focus

Images often comprise the majority of a website's payload yet are frequently overlooked in development sprints. By integrating compression, responsive resizing, and next-gen format conversion into your CI/CD pipelines, you can dramatically cut load times with little to no extra development effort. Performance-focused teams treat image optimization as part of their standard workflow, not a post-launch fix—leading to higher developer velocity, reduced tech debt, and better user outcomes. Proactive image management is essential for scalable, modern development.
