You should also be using a variety of formats. Unless you need support for old browsers and transparency in the same image, don't use PNG. Stick with jpg, webp and avif.

Hey everyone, seeking some feedback about how to improve our project, imgproxy, an open source image processing tool.It’s designed to reduce costs and remove pricey requirements for all saved images to conform to specific formats. You can read the full list here if you’re curious: https://github.com/imgproxy/imgproxy In addition to crucial image processing stuff (like resizing, cropping, rotating), it can also sign urls, add watermarks, and a ton of other things.A ton of developers use it, and that’s great. We’re trying to improve it further, so wanted to put out the feelers and see if there is anyone using it (or a similar tool) who could suggest some additional features (or tell about the essential features of your current image processing tool).

Now signup for Vultr and make a $5 instance and put imgproxy on it. Setup a subdomain for images in Cloudflare and point it to the imgproxy IP.
