Google Pagespeed for Nginx and Apache is another way to go. The benefit of this approach is that you don't have to bulk out your code.

For ecommerce it will eventally help to have product data, e.g. brand, product name etc embedded in the image. My other tip if you go the Imagemagick/PAGESPEED route then you can use 4:2:2 colour space and ditch half the bits used for chroma.
