Compressing graphic-related content and multimedia elements like logos, objects, banners, and image data is undoubtedly necessary for a mobile responsive website. In image compression, redundant and/or irrelevant information is eliminated whilst the leftover is resourcefully encoded. However, selecting the compression technique or choice of appropriate method in handling image compression requires caution so as not
to toss away non-redundant information and relevant fragments of image files in a bid to compress. This study investigates the functional performance and variation of a lossless method for compressing images in the mobile responsive web. Participants based experimental observation was adopted for research instrumentation, using the Thurston scale of rating to design a close-ended instrument for data collection.
