Optimize Your Images...
"The problem with an image on a web page is that even if it displays as a small thumbnail, users still have to download the original file.
Let’s say your image displays as 200 x 300 pixels on your page but the original file you uploaded was 2000 x 3000 pixels.
Users’ web browsers have to load the 2000 x 3000 pixel version, which slows the page load time.
Instead, optimize your images for how they show up on the web page. You can do this by using a number of tools that compress the file to the minimum size that will still look clear on your site. Such tools include:
- EWWW Image Optimizer: This is a plugin for WordPress users that will automatically optimize the images you upload to your site. You can also use it to optimize images you’ve previously uploaded. Although the file size will change, your image quality will remain the same.
- Tiny PNG: Tiny PNG allows you to bulk optimize up to 20 JPG and PNG images at once. It will compress your files without compromising visible image quality.
- Compressor.io: This tool allows you to choose between a reduction in picture quality or not, which is something you don’t find with many other tools."
