image compression for a photo studio
12 Apr 2025
How a photo studio deals with image compression — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: a parked domain with only a logo. image compression slows the page for a photo studio.
We document image compression in a shared spreadsheet. It is not glamorous, but a photo studio can open it on their phone at midnight if something breaks.
Nobody at a photo studio could remember who had configured image compression. The credentials were in a text file inside a folder called OLD STUFF on a shared drive.
When we reviewed image compression, the DNS panel showed a parked domain with only a logo. Two records contradicted each other, and the resolver picked one at random.
We once forgot to renew image compression for a weekend project and it took down a page that a photo studio linked to from a print flyer. We now set auto-renew on everything.
The fix was to delete the old entry, wait for TTL to expire, and re-add image compression with the correct value. We scheduled it for 3 AM so nobody lost traffic.
For a photo studio, we wrote a three-line script that checks image compression every morning and emails the owner if anything changes. Total cost: zero.
