I was cleaning out my email folder yesterday and I came across this old email. While I have removed anything that would specify who this email is with the results are still proving of CLDMV’s systems. I’m also pretty sure this email was prior to the double compression PNG system we currently use now.

More good news.. Here is the report from google on image compression: Losslessly compressing image/cache/data/ServiceRepairEvinrude-180x350.png could save 22.9KiB (57% reduction). Losslessly compressing image/cache/data/ServiceRepairMercury-180x350.png could save 21.2KiB (61% reduction). Losslessly compressing image/cache/data/free_shipping_smlbnnr-550x62.png could save 12.2KiB (61% reduction) Here are the results from optimizing them in my system: Processed file: image/cache/data/ServiceRepairEvinrude-180x350.png 10 times (60.49%). Processed file: image/cache/data/ServiceRepairMercury-180x350.png 2 times (62.61%). Processed file: image/cache/data/free_shipping_smlbnnr-550x62.png 2 times (62.39%). |
As you can see from above not only did our system compress the images as much as Google said we could. But we were able to compress 1-4% more. Here is a recent daily report of our image compression system.

Keeping in mind all the compression is done lossless. Meaning there is no loss in visual quality. The only downside to the compression is if the images store data such as where they were taken, that data is removed.
