Details and Plan of Action

1. Target Reference:
   • Target: Achieve an average reduction of 30-40% in image file size for all classified ads.
   • Timeline: Quarter Target
   • Responsible Department: SayPro Classified Office under SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR
   • Strategy: Monthly image optimization and compression of classified ad images to meet performance and quality goals.
2. Image Optimization Techniques:
   • Compression: Use modern image compression methods like WebP, JPEG 2000, or AVIF for high-quality image compression. These formats offer superior quality at smaller file sizes.
   • Image Resizing: Resize images before upload to ensure they are not larger than necessary. Use standard image sizes (e.g., 800x600px) that maintain the quality needed for ad viewing.
   • Lossless vs. Lossy Compression: Employ lossless compression methods when possible to retain image quality. For larger file reductions, lossy compression can be used with a balance between file size and quality.
   • Tools: Implement tools such as ImageOptim, TinyPNG, or built-in plugins in the SayPro Classified software for automated image optimization.
   • Content Delivery Networks (CDN): Use a CDN to serve optimized images that automatically adjust to the most suitable file format and size based on the user’s device and browser.
3. Implementation Steps:
   • Month 1 (January):
     • Audit current image file sizes across all classified ads.
     • Identify images that require optimization (e.g., high-resolution or oversized images).
     • Implement a batch processing system to compress and optimize images before they are uploaded.
     • Test on different classified categories to monitor performance improvements.
   • Month 2 (February):
     • Implement automatic image resizing for all uploads. Ensure the platform only accepts images within optimal size ranges.
     • Introduce a preview tool to show how images will look before and after optimization.
     • Start monthly reports tracking the average percentage reduction in image file size.
   • Month 3 (March):
     • Finalize the setup for automated image compression on upload.
     • Conduct A/B testing with optimized and non-optimized images to gauge the visual quality and performance impact.
     • Share results in monthly report with the SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR team.
4. Monitoring and Metrics:
   • Image File Size Reduction: Track the percentage reduction in file sizes across all ads. Aim for an average of 30-40% file size reduction for all images.
   • Visual Quality: Conduct monthly quality checks and surveys to ensure image quality remains satisfactory to users. Compare before and after optimization results for visual clarity.
   • Page Load Speed: Measure the impact of reduced image sizes on page load speed using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse, or GTMetrix.
   • User Experience: Track any changes in bounce rates, user engagement, and feedback related to image quality or site speed.
5. Success Metrics:
   • Achieved Target: Successfully reduce the average image file size by 30-40% for all classified ads.
   • No Quality Compromise: Ensure the visual quality of images remains consistent or even improved in some cases by using better compression techniques.
   • Performance Metrics: Show significant improvements in classified ad page load times and user engagement based on the reduction in image size.
