Optimising GIFs for the Web
Read OriginalThis technical article addresses the performance issues caused by large GIF files on websites. It explains the inefficiency of GIF's lossless compression and provides two primary solutions: 1) Replacing GIFs with autoplaying, looping HTML5 video (WebM/MP4) for drastically smaller file sizes, including the necessary code attributes. 2) Using lossy compression tools like gifsicle/giflossy for situations where actual GIF files are required, such as in HTML emails.
