Inspecting Images

You can see how well an image was optimized by PicPerf by adding “/i” directly after the PicPerf domain. For example, say you have an image in your HTML being served like so:

<img
src="https://picperf.io/https://macarthur.me/hedgehog.jpg"
alt="hedgehog" />

The inspection URL would be:

https://picperf.io/i/https://macarthur.me/hedgehog.jpg

You’ll see the following statistics:

  • the original format of the image
  • the optimized format of the image
  • the image’s original size
  • the image’s optimized size

Inspecting Transformed Images

Inspections will work for transformed images as well:

https://picperf.io/i/t/width_200,height_200/https://macarthur.me/hedgehog.jpg

Note that it make take some time for an inspection to become viewable if the image was just requested for the first time. Usually, this process takes less than a minute.
