  3. Reproduce user journeys impacted by image file size and compression gaps and capture evidence like screenshots, HAR files, or log samples.
  4. Document owners, SLAs, and upstream dependencies that influence image file size and compression quality.

Optimization Playbook

  • Prioritize fixes by pairing opportunity size with the effort required to improve image file size and compression.
  • Write acceptance criteria and QA steps to verify image file size and compression updates before launch.
