What Does Image Optimization Mean?
Basically, image optimization involves reducing the file size of your images without sacrificing quality.
When you optimize images, you’re making sure they’re in the right format, have the correct dimensions, and are compressed properly.
This means you would want to have the proper tools that balance image quality with file size so that your images look good while loading quickly.
Here are the benefits of optimizing images:
- Optimized images load faster, leading to a better experience for visitors and encouraging them to stay longer on your site.
- Faster loading times make your website more user-friendly, reducing user frustration and allowing them to explore more of your site.
- Search engines prefer websites that load quickly, so optimization can help improve your position and discoverability in search results.
- Optimized images take up less storage space and bandwidth, which can lower hosting costs and prevent slowdowns.
In addition, optimized images ensure your website loads efficiently and consistently on mobile phones, tablets, and desktops.
Ensuring your website’s overall performance also hinges on selecting the right hosting provider.
