Way too often load time is ignored due to the presumption that everyone else has broadband. Guess what – not everyone does, and those dial-uppers and smart-phone users are leaving your site, ASAP! Kinda makes you wanna just smush ’em, right? No, no, not your users. Your lard-tard images!
Smush-it, a new tool by a couple people at Yahoo!, dropped my site’s image file size by 40k at no quality loss. Heck, I just ran it on SEOmoz.org and this site could cut down 59.19 KB! FOR FREE!
Download the Firefox add-on and get smushin’ today: http://www.smushit.com/
P.S. If your time on page decreases because people don’t wait around as long for things to load – don’t blame me! 😉
P.P.S: To SEOmoz – Your biggest problem is due to a 47.27KB background PNG: https://moz.com/css/v4/images/pro-toolbar_bg.png
