Magento 2 Image Optimization Guide

Images in e-commerce are everything. Customers want to see the products they are purchasing from all angles, so they can be sure about what they are buying and know what to expect. To provide customers with the best product photos, e-commerce store owners commonly complement product descriptions with high-quality and high-resolution images and photos. However, including images that are not optimized, they slow down the page load speed, which impressively harms the store performance indicators and, consequently, the conversion rate. 

As this is a common pain for our clients, we've decided to share some Magento image optimization best practices that really work. Let's check them out!
