Objective
To provide a clear and concise procedure for optimizing images on the dashboard, ensuring all images are effectively compressed and saved for improved website performance. The goal is to achieve a 100% optimization score, maximizing productivity and accuracy in image management.
Key Steps
Access the Dashboard:
Log into the system and navigate to the dashboard section.
Locate the Image Optimization Score Block:
Identify the image optimization score block on the dashboard. This block provides a summary of the current image status.
Review Current Image Statistics:
Check the total number of images (e.g., 39,985 images).
Note the total size before optimization and the size after optimization.
Calculate the total MB saved (e.g., 5000 MB saved).
Analyze Optimization Metrics:
Identify the average size saved per image (e.g., 0.14 MB per image).
Review the number of images that have been optimized using automated methods (e.g., 3,297 images).
Initiate Image Optimization:
Click on the optimization link/button to access the image optimization settings.
Select the option to bulk optimize images, ensuring all images across the homepage, product pages, collections, and blogs are included.
Monitor Optimization Progress:
Keep track of the optimization process to ensure all images are processed successfully.
Look for any errors or issues that may arise during the optimization.
Verify Optimization Results:
After the optimization process is complete, return to the image optimization score block.
Confirm that the optimization score has reached 100%.
Documentation and Reporting:
Document the total number of images optimized and the total MB saved.
Prepare a report summarizing the optimization results for future reference.
Cautionary Notes
Ensure to back up images before performing bulk optimization to prevent loss of original quality.
Be aware that some images may not optimize well due to their format or size; manual adjustments may be necessary for these cases.
Regularly check the dashboard to maintain optimal image performance.
Tips for Efficiency
Schedule regular image optimization sessions to keep the website running smoothly.
Use automated tools for bulk optimization to save time and reduce manual effort.
Familiarize yourself with the dashboard features and settings to quickly navigate and execute tasks.
Encourage team members to stay updated on best practices for image formats and sizes to enhance optimization results.
