1. Squoosh

Large image files will only make your website slow down, especially if you have an e-commerce site with lots of images.No one can be bothered with a slow website, which means your dear customers will quickly bounce off the page and look somewhere else (we certainly don’t want that).

Not to worry though, there is a quick and easy fix! It’s called Squoosh –  an image compression web app that helps to reduce image sizes through numerous formats. Did we mention it is super easy to use as well?  All you have to do is drop in the image that you want to compress. From there all you have to do is resize the image to the width and height you would like and download the file.

3. Terms and Conditions Generator

If you have a website, terms and conditions are a must! While it may seem like a small and irrelevant page on your website that no one is going to read, you still need to have it.
