Recommend lossless image compression

Would love to save clients from themselves ;)

They like to upload large images and would love to see images on the backend processed to losslessly compress them. To be honest, it would be great if there could be global settings for a first pass with a lossy approach and then going back over with a lossless pass that uses techniques like http://imageoptim.com/

For our other clients sites, we use this to make sure everything is as performance minded as possible: https://github.com/JamieMason/grunt-imageoptim

Understand this isn't an overnight thing ... but please think of the browsers and the mobile phones. They are suffering and getting way too big of images. You, MP, can save your clients from themselves and make your sites even faster =)

Case in point: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=stlmag.com

Screenshot to prove it: http://grab.by/xY2Q That shows 880KB on the homepage that could be saved. Even if it is exaggerated by 50% it is significant. Again, please think of the mobile phones that might implode when they get that many kilobytes. And until then, I will do my best to make sure I remind them to save for web with a reasonable number for the quality.
