You need to be confident that the quality of the results you are getting have not been compromised for the sake of getting the smallest possible file size.

A faster site will get you more traffic and gain you more leads - all of which will contribute to the success of your business. If your site is image-rich, you will need to be extra vigilant in order to keep request sizes down. Kraken.io will help you with that.

Optimize for Mobile and Tablets
