+imgmin is a CLI app uses a lossless mechanism to generate the optimized images
+by manipulating pixel blocks. imgmin offers an automated means for enforcing
+image quality as a standalone tool and as a webserver module. imgmin
+determines the optimal balance of image quality and filesize, often greatly
+reducing image size while retaining quality for casual use, which translates
+into more efficient use of storage and network bandwidth, which saves money
+and improves user experience.
+
+The JPEG quality settings most used by graphics professionals tend to be
+highly conservative because Compression and image quality are inversely
+proportional and graphics people are interested in utmost visual quality and
+not in spending time worrying about network efficiency.
+
+The result of overly conservative JPEG compression and webservers' inability
+to compress them any further means that many images on the web are too large.
+JPEG's overwhelming popularity as the most common image format means that many
+pages contain dozens of JPEG images.
+
+These bloated images take longer to transfer, leading to extended load time,
+which does not produce a good viewer experience.
