image compression: how does webpagetest check if an image can be compressed??!?
hey! I was wondering how exactly webpagetest figures out if an image could be more compressed or not, so I could test/tweak stuff see if my site is generating the "right" sized images
i gave a shot at looking at the source and found this constant in wpt_test.cc:37 which looks like maybe a clue... -> wpt_test.cc 37:static const BYTE JPEG_DEFAULT_QUALITY = 30;

The code you're looking for is actually here: https://github.com/WPO-Foundation/webpag...ks.cc#L327
It recompresses jpegs at a quality level of 85 which is pretty generous (usually you can go down to 75 without even thinking about it). The process also strips out meta-data like exif tags. |
