title: Optimize images in htaccess?
body: <p>I am trying to reduce the imagesize of the webpage www.chevereganga.com by using this code in the htaccess-file. How does it work ?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;IFModule mod_deflate.c&gt;
  &lt;filesmatch "\.(js|css|html|jpg|png|gif|jpeg|php)$"&gt;
  SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
  &lt;/filesmatch&gt;
  &lt;/IFModule&gt;
  </code></pre>

  <p>Properly formatting and compressing images can save many bytes of data.
  Optimize the following images to reduce their size by 10KiB (15% reduction).
