❗ The Problem

Modern websites often load slowly because of large, unoptimized images.
Photos taken with phones or cameras can easily be 5–15 MB, causing:

• Slow page loading
• High bandwidth usage
• Poor SEO performance
• Bad user experience, especially on mobile or weak networks

Even if images are hosted on an external server or CDN, the browser still downloads the full file size.

Hosting an image does NOT optimize it.
A 10 MB file is still a 10 MB download.

✅ The Solution

This Node.js script automatically compresses, resizes, and converts images into the modern WebP format using the Sharp library.

The script:

• Reduces image size by 70%–95%
• Keeps strong visual quality
• Resizes large images (max width: 1600px)
• Converts images to .webp for optimal performance
• Processes an entire folder automatically

Your website becomes faster, more efficient, and performs better on SEO.
