Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the image compression and optimization feature.

How much can SEOLab reduce my image file sizes?

Most stores see file sizes reduced by up to 70% using lossy compression, or up to 30% with lossless compression, depending on which setting you choose for each image type.

Will compression make my product photos look worse?

No. SEOLab's compression is tuned to stay visually lossless at normal viewing sizes, so shoppers won't notice a quality difference, only a faster-loading page.

Can I get my original images back if I don't like the result?

Yes. Every original image is backed up automatically before compression, and you can restore any image to its original version with one click at any time within 30 days time frame.

How does SEOLab improve my store's search rankings?

SEOLab automates technical fixes including broken link redirects, ALT tag generation, JSON-LD schema additions, and AI engine indexing optimization to keep your store aligned with modern search guidelines.

Does SEOLab convert images to WebP automatically?

Yes. Supported images are converted to WebP, a modern format that loads faster than standard JPEG or PNG while keeping visual quality intact.

Do I need to compress new images manually every time I upload one?

No. Once set up, SEOLab automatically detects and optimizes new images as you add them, so your store stays fast without repeating the process.
