Ever wondered how to quickly optimize images in your Magento 2 store? We've been working with image optimization solution Imgix for a while now. We're such big fans, we even wrote and open-sourced a Magento 2 extension for their service!
Using this extension, all images on your store (not just the product & category images) are optimized. That means their file size is smaller and they are served in WebP if possible. But Imgix is much more powerful than that; you can also do all kinds of image manipulation.
An example of this can be seen on our client Publisher Pluim's writers page. The writers' photos (served from the Prismic CMS) are automatically cropped & zoomed in on the writer's face - no manual editing required!
You can get the extension here; elgentos/magento2-imgix
