We were able to get some pretty great scores. This theme also supports next-gen image formats (avif and webp). The image conversion will happen automatically. You can upload JPEG or PNG images, and Ghost will automatically convert multiple image sizes in avif and webp format. The theme will then load these images depending on the browser. If a browser does not support avif format, the theme will use webp image as a fallback.

Using avif or webp images considerably reduces the image size. Please see the below snapshot about the considerable improvement in image size.

Please note that the performance of the website also depends on the server you choose for hosting.&#x20;

For fully managed hosting, I suggest the CREATOR plan of the official [Ghost Pro Hosting](https://myghost.page/ghost-pro).

The performance also depends on the 3rd party scripts you include for analytics, payment gateway and more.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.themeupstudio.com/orchid/performance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
