I grew up in the era of 56K modems where downloading a 3MB image took 7-8 minutes. We had to think carefully about what we added to a page. Today, we have fast connections and we stopped thinking. Maybe it’s time we start again.

I built a small Windows tool for fast image conversion.

Pixel Press converts images to modern formats like WebP and AVIF in seconds with simple drag & drop and batch processing.

Great for developers and faster websites.

Most teams treat performance and design as a tradeoff.

It’s not.

In WordPress especially, heavy themes, sliders, and “just one more plugin” quietly destroy load times — and with them, trust and rankings.

If your site is slow, your design doesn’t get a chance to matter.
