Image Optimization Focused on Core Web Vitals (2025)
How to reduce LCP, stabilize CLS and prevent INP spikes with disciplined, technical image decisions.
Improving LCP
Optimize the primary hero: preconnect, fetch priority, modern formats, weight targets.
Reducing INP risk
Shift heavy conversions to build time or local processing (FotoLince) instead of runtime edge/server sync work.
Preventing CLS
Reserve space (aspect-ratio), coordinate font loading, dominant color placeholders.
Weight budgets
Define per-template KB caps and monitor in CI to prevent silent regressions.
Strategic lazy loading
Prioritize first viewport, defer non-critical imagery via interaction or idle callbacks.
Recommended pipeline
Inventory → normalize → convert → visual QA → measure → deploy.
Automation
FotoLince lets you test weight impact locally with zero upload latency. Iterate fast before CI integration.
