I have a few questions regarding optimizing large scale e-commerce sites with getting indexed. Over 1 million pages.

Should you optimize images for e-stores with over 1 million product images?

Should anything be automated for e-stores with over 1 million pages? What can be automated?

Image Optimization

Every website on the planet should be using image optimization using lossless compression - since whats the point of slowing down the experience for your visitors.

There are a few websites online that can compress images for you in lossless format:


SmushIt
Jpeg Optimizer
TinyPNG


Since you have a million pages then your most likely require a linux solution or windows commandline tool, take a look at

OptiPNG
PngCrush
JpegTran

Yes and as much as possible.


Even optimizing a single image has an impact. It saves bandwidth for your visitors and your servers. Optimizing a million images is a million times more advantageous.
Nobody wants to go anything a million times, so automate everything you can. Every effort saved gets multiplied the larger your data is.


From this, you can guess that automating the optimization of your images is a necessity!
