Optimizing Images
Optimizing images is another great way to increase your website loading speed. Images play a crucial role on any website. They simply let the visitors preview or visualize the kind of experience they’re going to have when they eventually buy a product or service and will surely create a dramatic connection that impacts buying objective.
When it comes to captivating a lot of people as well as attracting attention, the home page needs to be bombarded with series of high-quality and niche-related images, though they can unfortunately reduce your site loading speed.
What you can simply do to prevent those images from impacting your page load times is to display them in their full sizes. But if you cannot display the images in their full sizes, then you’ll need to do appropriate scaling in order to reduce your load times.
For instance, if a 500 x 500 pixels image is only displayed at 50 x 50 pixels, this will influence page load times a lot as it’s going to load 10 times more than expected.
The best way to optimize your images is to upload only those that are of equal sizes on your website.

For those who really want to the deep detail aspect of this, I've written a training that has becme very popular: Turbo Charge Your Site Speed!
Thanks
My site speeds were all at 100% until I used a contact form
from WP as a plugin I do not want to take this away because
it is needed, also I am finding videos are lowing the site
speed what can be done to correct this do you know I do
not want to lower speeds but this is happening now with only
5 plugins with the WP form and 6 with the TablePress
lowering my speeds to 90% and 70%?
Thanks,
Susan
This proves that it's not due to the number of plugins as such, but other factors such as reducing the size of an image which negatively impacts the page load times. Make sure you do the scaling appropriately, enable caching, use simple site designs, and all of that.

I do have EWWW Image Optimizer plugin and I checked my site on Google's WebPage test didn't have any problems there.
I don't understand what is a Cache?
I am experiencing slow load times on mobile devices according to site health its 38 percent. I did reach out and ask IT but they referred me to the Program Developer, as I stated to them I am not a Developer, so I need things to be explain in layman's terms.
Thanks for any feed back to help me
Cynthia,
Cheers!
A website is essentially made up of a certain number of files that are appropriate together to create a series of pages. Some of these will contain images, the main body or introduction of a blog post, while others will contain fashionable information for page elements such as footer, header, sidebar, and all of that.
If you need any further help, don't hesitate to let me know. I also recommend Jetrbby's training for more strategies. Check the link above.
