Website Image Optimization Workflow
A workflow for preparing web images before publishing: choose dimensions, convert formats, compress delivery copies, and connect images to useful page context.
Audience
Site owners, creators, developers, and marketers publishing image-heavy pages.
Outcome
Smaller delivery images, clearer format choices, and fewer page-speed problems before the page is indexed.
Workflow Steps
Choose the delivery dimensions
Crop and resize images for their actual placement instead of uploading full-size originals to a small layout slot.
Select the right format
Use JPG for photos, PNG or SVG for sharp graphics, and WebP or AVIF when modern web delivery and size reduction matter.
Workflow Notes
- Keep original master images separate from compressed website copies.
- Image SEO depends on page context as much as file size.
- Transparent logos and screenshots should not always be treated like photos.

OpenWorkflow FAQs
Which image should I optimize first?
Start with the largest images above the fold, then optimize repeated thumbnails, social previews, icons, and gallery images.
Is WebP better for every website image?
WebP is often a strong delivery format, but keep originals and consider PNG, SVG, JPG, or AVIF depending on content and compatibility.
Can compressed images improve SEO?
Smaller images can improve load time and user experience, which supports SEO, but the page still needs useful content and crawlable structure.
