Image Optimization Tips
Follow these best practices to get the most out of your images:
- Choose the right format: Use JPEG for photographs, PNG for graphics with transparency, and WebP for modern browsers.
- Resize before uploading: Upload images at the exact size they'll be displayed to avoid unnecessary data.
- Find the quality sweet spot: Start with 70-80% quality and adjust based on your needs.
- Use descriptive filenames: Helps with SEO and organization (e.g., "sunset-beach.jpg" instead of "IMG123.jpg").
- Consider responsive images: Serve different sizes for different devices to improve loading times.
