Add Images
The tool above is meant for checking how images affect your page speed.
The use of unique and high-quality images (Preferably featured images) has a lot of benefits for your Page Authority and some of these are discussed below:
Here are some of the benefits adding unique and topically-relevant featured images can do for your Page Authority:
- Images can increase content readability
Creating content with large blocks of texts alone can make reading so difficult for your readers. With images added within content, content easily gets broken up and this increases readability for the potential readers
When topically-relevant images are used within content, it becomes easy for readers to quickly grab the overall concept of the post.
- Images can easily be shared
In as much as readers enjoy the reading due to the use of topically-relevant images, they’ll get motivated to share such content more than when it’s just written with only blocks of texts without images added at all.
The relevance of images to your content matters a lot especially when it comes to making the audience identify the context of the content on social media, forums, and elsewhere.
- Images can improve SEO
As it’s appreciated by Google to always add topically-relevant images to your content, Google requires that you use “Alt text” to communicate or describe what the images represent.
And while using the “Alt text” for your images, it’s necessary that you still choose low competition keywords for the Alt texts you’re using to ensure that they get indexed and ranked easily.
