Tips & benchmarks
- For photos, set quality to 80โ85 to maintain a natural look while reducing size by ~70%, ideal for Indian websites with high-traffic photo galleries.
- PNG is ideal for images with transparency or flat colours; otherwise, convert to JPG or WebP for up to 50% smaller files, perfect for Indian e-commerce sites with product images.

- Compress all images in a ZIP to speed up uploads to CMS or cloud storage, and consider using UPI payments for easy and secure transactions.
