How To Reduce Image Size & Speed Up Your Site

Save your visuals in the most optimal format. JPEG is usually the best for large photos. SVG should be reserved for logos and icons. Be careful with WEBP: it offers high quality with a low file size (and is a good alternative to the cumbersome GIF), but certain browsers don’t support it.

B-Manually set optimal height and width.

C-Use compression.

d-Merge images together. 

e-Use lazy loading. 

4. Make Your Images Responsive

How To Make Images Responsive

Set the CSS width property to 100% and height to auto. This way, the image will scale both up and down.

Set the max-width property to 100%. In this case, the image will never scale up to be larger than its original size.

Use the <img srcset> attribute. It displays a different version of the image for different screen sizes. The catch is, you need to prepare different versions of the same image to use this attribute.

Here’s an example:

<img srcset="image-320w.jpg 320w,

image-480w.jpg 480w,

image-800w.jpg 800w"

sizes="(max-width: 320px) 280px,

(max-width: 480px) 440px,

800px"

src="image-800w.jpg" alt="Description">

5. Optimize Image Names, Alt Text & More With Keywords

How To Make Images More SEO-Friendly

A-Filename. 

B-File path. The domain and subdirectories’ names can provide additional context that search engines can interpret. For example, if you have an online fishing gear store, then you could structure a picture’s URL like this: https://fishing.com/images/fishing-rods/spinning-rod/falcon-bucoo.png.

C-Surrounding text. 

D-Anchor text.

E-ALT text.
