About The Book

Images help us tell a story, drive conversions and increase engagement. But to be effective, they need to be carefully orchestrated and appear on the screen fast. So how do we encode, deploy, serve and maintain images over time? Our new book explores just that. Check free PDF preview (12MB).

Written by Addy Osmani, the book dives deep into image formats and image compression, image decoding and browser rendering, image CDNs, adaptive media loading — and effective caching, preloading and Core Web Vitals. 528 pages. Jump to the details →
