After having shared detailed tips on how to compress CSS and HTML Codes in Part-1, its now time to learn how to compress Images and JavaScript in order to Speed Up the loading time of your websites and blogs. Both graphics and JavaScript play a major role in slowing down your site load speed. So lets now discuss the remaining part of our topic.

Note: Please save all of your files in a folder just in case you ever need to edit them. Keep all the compressed files which we will make, in a separate folder such as a publish folder.
If you have a Blogger account just download your template from the box above the editor

Image Compression

My next step is to compress my images. Save all of your blog’s images into one folder, and go to Smush it. This is an image compressing tool made by Yahoo. Upload all of your images, where they will be compressed, and download them in a zipped file. You can then re-upload them to your blog. Both techniques shown so far will decrease your page size and loading time by at least 30%.

JavaScript Compression

Your next step is to compress all of your JavaScript. Please go to JS Compress. Upload your JavaScript, have it compressed, and re-upload it to your webpage.
