  10. …realy applies. I assume you are using an existing JPEG XL decoding lib? (Edit - Source here: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh/tree/dev/codecs/... ) Are you doing any progressive decoding while it downloads? I believe that is one…

  13. Squoosh ( https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh ) gives very impressive results in my (admittedly somewhat limited) experience.

  22. It's an open source project from Google Code Labs. Here is the Github repo: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh/ It looks like it uses Web Assembly to compress the images on the client side.
