How can I optimize my website’s loading speed without compromising design quality?

The problem is how to improve a website‘s loading speed without compromising its design quality. This involves optimizing images, reducing file sizes, minimizing code, leveraging caching, using a CDN, and employing lazy loading while maintaining the visual appeal and functionality of the site.

I tried optimizing images and minifying CSS/JavaScript to improve my website’s loading speed. I expected the site to load faster without losing any visual quality or design features. However, while the site became faster, some design elements slightly degraded in quality, especially images, indicating further adjustments are needed in compression techniques.
