Image Pipeline Lab: Compress, Crop, Caption, and Serve Media Without Regret

Images make products feel real, but bad image handling burns bandwidth and breaks layouts. Participants work through upload limits, cropping, compression, responsive sizes, CDN URLs, placeholders, alt text, moderation checks, and broken image recovery.

The lab is practical for community sites, portfolios, articles, marketplaces, and event pages. Teams leave with a media checklist that improves loading speed without sacrificing useful detail or accessibility.
