Compress your website hero image without ruining the first impression
The hero image is the largest element above the fold, so it is usually the single biggest contributor to Largest Contentful Paint. Most landing pages ship a 1.5-3MB hero straight from a design tool. Compress it, convert to WebP, and the same page can paint in a fraction of the time — with no change to your layout or your hosting.

Hero image compression that keeps the design intact
Use these before you upload or share the page.
Match the hero to its real display size. A 3000px image shown at 1400px CSS width is wasting most of its bytes — resize to 2x the display width and then compress.
Ship WebP for the hero. It is the highest-impact single change on an above-the-fold image, and every current browser supports it.
Target 150-400KB for a full-width hero at 2x. If your hero is still above 800KB after compression, the dimensions are wrong, not the quality setting.
