    Hi,

    I use tinyjpg.com to make all my website images lighter. Nevertheless, I just tested my website using Google′s PageSpeed Insights and concluded that many images on my homepage should be compressed and resized, as you can observe here. Am I doing something wrong while using your service?

    Best regards,

    Hi there!

    Google recently changed their page speed tool to suggest aggressive image optimisations.

    Although of course it is possible to compress images more aggressively than what TinyPNG and TinyJPG do, the quality tends to suffer. The image optimisation is intended to automatically determine an optimal balance between quality and size.

    We do plan to look at the JPEG compression algorithms this year, to see if we can tune the optimisation to return smaller images in cases where it doesn’t harm the output quality.

    Hope this helps understand the results given by Google.
