Description

Images already compressed as far as they can be with ImageOptim, then I ran through ECT (https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool) and got the following results. (see screenshot) I have also attached the images I used for your review. These images are a selection of the ones that did achieve better compression. Only about half of the images I tried did compress smaller.

Research direction

Review the ECT project and the attached screenshot and images.zip to understand the reported compression differences. The issue does not name any ImageOptim files, tests, or acceptance criteria, so first clarify whether ECT integration is wanted and what images or compression results would define completion.
