#Day07 – #Next.js Image Component + External Hostnames + Custom Loaders ✅ #winterarc #shorts

Description

Day 07 – Winter Arc Challenge ❄️ (07 Nov 2025) Today I completed proper image optimization in Next.js — because images heavily affect speed, UX & SEO. What I learned & implemented today: ✅ Using the Image Component in Next.js ✅ Controlling image compression quality ✅ External image hostname configuration ✅ Using a custom loader function for optimization providers (Cloudinary / ImageKit / etc.) Modern web performance = image performance. Every little % matters. Winter Arc continues 🌨️ 1% improvement every day. #winterarc #winterarcday07 #nextjs #imageoptimization #cloudinary #imagekit #webperformance #webdevelopment #frontend #nextjs14 #buildinpublic #developerlife #codingjourney #dhirajarya nextjs image optimization, nextjs image component, nextjs image quality, nextjs external image host, nextjs custom loader, cloudinary nextjs, imagekit nextjs, nextjs performance optimization, nextjs 14 tutorial, web performance tips, winter arc challenge, dhiraj arya, coding journey, build in public
