Squoosh It!

I made significant improvements in my pagespeed times.

I have been using a new Chrome browser web app from GoogleChromeLabs called "Squoosh" to quickly and easily squoosh image file sizes before I upload them.

It is an easy app to use. I either drag and drop or select an image.

Users can choose from a variety of compression standards including MozJPEG, OptiPNG, and Google’s WebP. A small slider quickly adjusts the level of compression and shows the amount of compression.


A second vertical slider can be pulled across the image to see the effects of the compression used. At first, I checked the effects. Now, I don't bother because I don't notice the changes to the image after being compressed.

The app source is: https://squoosh.app

Enjoy.

Thanks for the share Glen

You are welcome, Michael.

Hi Glen, just adding to Rosanna's question, I do all of my publishing through site content which I believe has some form of image optimiser, coupled with the EWWW in Wordpress, how much more noticeable is this going to be in regard to site speed, do you think ?
Many thanks.

Good question. I didn't realize or think Site Content optimized images.

I am going to run some tests using GT Metrix to see.

Thanks Glen, I hope I've not misread somewhere, I don't want to waste your time.

Thank you for sharing, Glen.
Will have to check it out.

Paul.

You are welcome, Paul.

Cheers.

How does it compare with the EWWW plugin, do you have an opinion?

I sure do! 😀

My speedpage scores improved once I started loading "squooshed" images.

Because Squoosh is still an experimental app, there is no plugin and it only compresses one image at a time. EWWW can bulk optimize images.

Thanks for the info Glen. I will have to take a look at it later.

You are welcome, Derek.

Cheers!

Hey, that looks useful. Definitely gonna give it a try

Hi, David. It works well. But it added an extra step in the process, which I don't mind considering the improvement.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have never heard of Aquoosh so I will have to look into it

It's been out a few months. I have been testing it for a while now and am impressed by how it works.

We started using Squoosh after you mentioned it a couple of months ago and, we agree, it works perfectly and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks again for another great recommendation, Glen.
Colette and Philip

You are welcome, Colette and Philip. I am glad it's working out for you.

Brilliant thanks for this, I need to work on my site speed so bad! and I know one of my key areas is images, as I have a lot on my site. Than you so much for sharing! I will check it out over the weekend.

Glad you liked it. Have a great weekend!
