    It is an art of minimizing the size in bytes of graphics file without degrading the quality of the image

    properly optimizing images involves using the "Alt" attribute when adding images to your site. Basically Google Crawlers cannot read images, so you add the "Alt" attribute to tell these crawlers what it is. What you place here also is what is shown in the event the image doesn't load (say someone is using a web browser that is not compatible for some reason).

    Also, with image optimization, you usually apply some strategy in lay outing your image to your webpage say in your header. Images tend to be more catchy to the eye of the visitor but also become annoying and misleading to your important contents.
