    Hello Engineer's
    I am developing a shopping cart application in which number of images are used to show the items.
    Any shopkeeper can submit the item's information with images using this application. As the submission of image is open for every registered customer he can upload the image of any size(upto 2MB).
    .
    Guy's i don't want to reduce the uploading size of images but want to improve the speed of page loading.
    One idea that comes to my mind is to use compression algorithm. Is it the one that will be used in real time application's or some else ?

    There are a few ways I can think of -
    • Create thumbnails of the uploaded images and display them. This will definitely cut-down on the loading times.
    • Use a content delivery network (CDN), preferably from Amazon (cloudfront) - a very cheap CDN that works like charm. That should take off the load off your server and the images will be delivered from Amazon's servers - which would definitely be faster for the end users.
    • You may use image compression algorithm as you said.
    • Have a look- #-Link-Snipped-#
    • Have a look at Google mod_pagespeed module for Apache - it does most of the good job required to render pages faster.
    I hope this helps or give you a few ideas to consider. We've plenty of CS folks here who might offer you a better advice. 👍

    #-Link-Snipped-# Thanks for the help biggie.
    Can you tell me which technique you are using to display the images in this forum ?

    The images are turned into thumbnails for the guests but we don't compress them. It's not a image-heavy platform in the first place. The blog serves the images through CDN from Amazon which handles all the rendering.
