Image compression "on the fly" to meet Google PageSpeed Insights requirements

What this solution does

The module compresses images without quality loss by optimizing files according to Google PageSpeed Insights recommendations. This reduces file size, saves server disk space, accelerates page loading, and lowers traffic consumption. Faster loading of optimized images improves the user experience, enhancing site performance and competitiveness, which positively impacts search engine rankings.

Key features:

Visual editor support — the module compresses images added via the visual editor in static pages.

Compatibility with any hosting — works on standard hosting environments without requiring VPS or dedicated servers.

Simplified manual processing — the interface displays only image folders, eliminating the need to check additional directories.

The module provides flexible image compression to optimize Google PageSpeed Insights scores. Unlike solutions limited to a single method or requiring third-party services, this tool supports a combined approach: processing can be performed using local server libraries or via a remote service. This allows adaptation to specific infrastructure requirements.

Full compatibility with PHP 8 is ensured, guaranteeing stable operation within the 1C-Bitrix environment.

The module is available under a one-time payment model with full access to all features. There are no monthly subscriptions or hidden fees.

Module operating modes

Manual compression mode

Users independently select image folders and initiate the processing. This ensures precise control over the list of files to be processed. Management is performed via the site's administrative panel in the section where the module is installed.

Automatic compression using local libraries

Automatic image compression mode designed to meet Google PageSpeed Insights requirements. Processing is performed on the server using built-in libraries, accelerating the workflow without user intervention. Module settings offer flexible control: users can set compression coefficients for JPG and PNG formats, select information blocks for processing, and define system events that trigger automatic optimization.

An alternative option is compression via an external service API. This approach enables image optimization without requiring additional server libraries. Despite the automated nature of the process, configuration remains detailed: users specify compression coefficients for JPG and PNG files, choose target information blocks, and select system events to initiate compression.

If “Image compression "on the fly" to meet Google PageSpeed Insights requirements” fits the task, General iT can install the module, configure it and verify the result in the project.
