Speed Booster Pack. Image And Photo Compression Level
The plugin is also able to compress new images to improve load times and performance. According to the description of this feature:
“The default image compression setting in WordPress is 90%. Compressing your images further than the default will make your file sizes even smaller and will boost your site performance.
Note that any changes you make will only affect new images uploaded to your site. If you want to update all of your images with the new sizes, install and run the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin. As a reference, a lower level of compression means more performance. We recommend you choose a compression level between 50 and 75″.
Lower level of compression means more performance and faster loading times. It also means photos and images with less detail, reduced clarity and more artifacts. This is something you need to experiment with.
Speed Booster Pack plugin requires: 3.6 or higher and it’s compatible with the newest WordPress 4.0 Benny version.
