When it comes to displaying images on your website, optimizing them for the web is crucial. It not only ensures faster load times but also maintains visual quality. Here’s how to do it effectively:
- Choose the Right Format: Use JPEG for photographs, PNG for images requiring transparency, and SVG for scalable graphics.
- Resize Images: Reduce the dimensions to match the display size on your site. This avoids unnecessary data usage.
- Compress Files: Use tools like Adobe Photoshop or online compressors to minimize file size without losing quality.
- Use Alt Text: Include descriptive alt text for better accessibility and SEO.
Following these steps ensures that your images enhance the user experience without compromising your site’s performance.
