It also includes precise labeling of images so that search engines can read them and understand the context of the page. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">First, images provide search engines with important contextual information. Secondly, optimized images speed up page loading, which increases user engagement and search engine rankings. <\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1582617407329{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You have to be careful not to use images that you don&#8217;t have the rights to, but you can find a lot of resources online that provide free images for companies to use. <span style=\"color: #fd6600;\"><a style=\"color: #fd6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freepik.com\/\">Freepik.com<\/a><\/span>, Pixabay.com are just a few of the sites with high-quality free images.  <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1584651700656{padding-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Adjust the size of images<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1582617386745{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to<span style=\"color: #fd6600;\"><a style=\"color: #fd6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/kinsta.com\/blog\/optimize-images-for-web\/\"> research,<\/a> <\/span>images make up an average of 21% of the total weight of <em>web <\/em>pages. Since images consume more bytes than any other part of the site, their size definitely affects performance. If you reduce the size of images without reducing their quality, page loading time improves, and therefore the experience of site visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Large images slow down the site, which leads to a poor user experience. If we state that a one-second delay in loading a website leads to a 7% drop in conversions, and that about 40% of people abandon a site that takes more than three seconds to load, then it certainly becomes clearer why image optimization for <em>the web <\/em>is important. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Image size and file size are not the same thing. Image size refers to the dimensions of the image (e.g., 1024 to 680 pixels). File size is the amount of space required to store it on a server (e.g., 350 kilobytes).  <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1580463944447{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Images with a higher resolution and larger dimensions significantly slow down page loading. <strong>Optimizing images for <em>the web<\/em> <\/strong>requires reducing the size of files so that they can work well on the <em>web<\/em>. It is also important to choose the appropriate photo format. PNG, JPEG, and GIF are popular formats, and each has its own advantages. Choose the appropriate format depending on your needs.   <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1584651716719{padding-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>How to best adjust the size<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1584032369166{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are numerous tools that allow us to get this job done. It is important to take into account the right compression ratio and preservation of image quality when optimizing images for the web. Ideally, you should experiment with file types and compression rates to see what works best for each image. Many image editing tools, most notably <em>Adobe Photoshop<\/em>, have a <em>&#8220;save for the web<\/em>&#8221; option, which automatically minimizes file size while optimizing image quality.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you&#8217;re not familiar with <em>using Photoshop<\/em> or don&#8217;t have someone to do it for you, there are a number of good tools that can help with this job.
