Image Settings

The background images are resized to load faster. It uses a command line tool called ImageMagick. To use, replace the "INPUT" and "OUTPUT" from the below command.

magick mogrify -path OUTPUT -filter Triangle -define filter:support=2 -thumbnail 4096x1024 -unsharp 1x2 -dither None -posterize 136 -quality 82 -define jpeg:fancy-upsampling=off -define png:compression-filter=5 -define png:compression-level=9 -define png:compression-strategy=1 -define png:exclude-chunk=all -interlace none -colorspace sRGB -strip INPUT

Video Settings

Could not find a good CLI tool for compressing video, but using HandBrake works well. Videos were compressed using the "Very Fast 480p30" preset with no audio.

Audio Settings

Also could not find a CLI tool for compressing audio, but using Audacity works well. Audio was compressed using sample rate of 8000 Hz, with Bit Rate between 145-185 kbps, and mono channels.
