Optimize Images for the Web: Base64, Compression & Performance (2025 Guide)

Image optimization is still one of the highest-impact improvements you can make to any website. I just published a complete guide on how to optimize images for modern web performance in 2025 โ€” including when to use Base64, how compression works, and how to choose the right image format.

๐Ÿ” What the guide covers

  • When Base64 encoding helps (and when it slows you down)
  • Lossy vs lossless compression
  • JPG vs PNG vs WebP vs AVIF in 2025
  • How optimized hero images improve LCP
  • Best practices for responsive images (srcset, sizes, <picture>)
  • Practical tools for compression and conversion

If you want to reduce load times, boost Core Web Vitals, and improve real-world performance, this guide will help you get there.
