Let’s continue with the example of the cinema schedule page that Michelangelo could not see. Each of these roles has the responsibility of offering the best for the user, providing the maximum value to the product, taking care of the details. In the development of a website there are several roles, whether in teams, people or someone who exercises more than one of those roles: product, UX, design, development, QA, up to DevOps (or what is now known as SRE) in the deployment phase. There are several points to consider for a good IX, beyond passing the images through a compressor that promises to optimize our images in the most effective way. Let me introduce the term IX, short for Image eXperience.

It is very likely that the white text of the schedules is set as an overlay of a fantastic and incredible image of a key scene of the last film premiere, perfectly contrasted, perfectly framed to draw the attention of the viewer and show the schedules to watch that great movie … but, the image has not been loaded.

HTTP Archive: Table Image Optimization Image eXperience is everyone’s businessĪ few days ago, in the article Performance Web in modern times, Michelangelo wrote about a situation where he had problems planning an activity for the weekend: “Where I should see the movie schedules, it renders white on white. In August 2019, images on mobile represented 911KB of the content loaded for the average 1.8MB site, and on desktop there were 1MB of images on an average site weighting 2MB.
After all, that’s what our work really is about.Īccording to HTTP Archive, 50% of the data transferred to load a web page are images (JPEG, PNG and GIF). No matter what, our goal of improving user’s experience will remain. Surely with the constant advance of technology and improvements in connectivity, in the future the content might be more video-based than image-based. Images are a very important part of the web. As web development professionals, we care about choosing the best framework, the most current library, applying good practices in Javascript and CSS, being careful of the semantics in HTML to improve SEO, we are improving the accessibility of our content, we package and we divide the files to optimize the load… But what about images?
