## Image Optimization - Quick Setup

✅ **No additional packages required**  
Uses PHP's built-in GD library (already available in XAMPP)

### Step 1: Verify GD is Enabled

Open `php.ini` (usually at `C:\xampp\php\php.ini`):

```ini
extension=gd
```

Should be uncommented. If not, uncomment it:

```ini
extension=gd  ← Remove semicolon if present
```

### Step 2: Restart PHP/Apache

```bash
# In XAMPP Control Panel
# Click "Stop" on Apache
# Wait 2 seconds
# Click "Start" on Apache
```

### Step 3: Verify Setup

Go to: `http://localhost/phpmyadmin/` 

Scroll to "GD" extension - should show version information.

### Step 4: Test Image Upload

1. Open Hotili Admin Panel
2. Go to "Room Types"
3. Create or update a room type
4. Upload a new image
5. Check `/storage/app/public/room-types/` directory

You should see:
```
room-deluxe.jpg              (original, optimized)
room-deluxe.webp             (full size WebP)
room-deluxe-large.jpg        (1200px)
room-deluxe-large.webp       (1200px WebP)
room-deluxe-medium.jpg       (800px)
room-deluxe-medium.webp      (800px WebP)
room-deluxe-small.jpg        (400px)
room-deluxe-small.webp       (400px WebP)
```

### WebP Support Status

Check browser support:
- **Chrome/Edge:** ✅ Full support
- **Firefox:** ✅ Full support
- **Safari:** ✅ Full support (iOS 14+)

The system automatically falls back to JPEG if WebP is unavailable.

### What's Optimized

✅ **Frontend (RoomCard.vue)**
- Lazy loading (loads only when visible)
- WebP with JPEG fallback
- Async image decoding
- Responsive sizing

✅ **Backend (Image Upload)**
- Automatic compression (JPEG quality 75)
- Multiple size variants (large/medium/small)
- WebP generation for better compression
- Proper error handling

### Expected Results

**Before:** 2-3MB per image  
**After:** 400-500KB (JPEG) or 300-350KB (WebP)

**Speed Improvement:**
- Desktop: 60-70% faster
- Mobile: 70-80% faster
- Data usage: 70% reduction
