Nice! New Google JPEG encoder allows websites to load faster!

Speed is everything on the internet, and as a general rule of thumb: the smaller the file, the faster it’ll load. To help with that, Google created a new open-source JPEG encoder that will purportedly reduce the file sizes of images while maintaining picture quality, allowing websites to load faster.

The question now is "if" and "how long will it take" for websites to start adopting the new tech? I wonder if Guetzli created images will also bump up benchmark scores like Google Octane?
