Challenge we solve
How we solve Oversized Images
In our experience, oversized images are image files with a larger file size or pixel dimensions than what's actually needed for their display size and context, often full resolution uploads served without resizing or compression. This happens when images are uploaded directly to a CMS without an automated resizing/compression pipeline or responsive srcset implementation. Oversized images are one of the most common causes of poor Largest Contentful Paint scores and increased page weight, directly affecting both Core Web Vitals and mobile data usage for visitors.

Why this happens (and how we fix it)
In our experience, this is almost always the win of images being uploaded directly to a CMS in their original, full resolution form, straight from a camera, stock photo library, or design file, without passing through an automated resizing, compression, or responsive srcset pipeline. Content editors uploading images rarely have visibility into what file size or dimensions the page template actually needs to display them correctly.
What it costs you while it goes unfixed
In our experience, oversized images are one of the single most common causes of poor Largest Contentful Paint scores, since images are frequently the largest element on a page and directly determine how long it takes for the biggest visible content to render. Beyond Core Web Vitals, they also disproportionately affect mobile visitors on metered data plans, adding measured cost and delay for exactly the audience segment least equipped to absorb it.
