Fast loading websites are about many things, and one of the
more important actions is to ensure you’ve optimised your images for web site
searching.
In other words, your images have to be optimised to load as
fast as possible!
If you upload your own camera or smart phone images, the
physical size of those images is likely to be huge, and perhaps a few metres in
diameter which is definitely going to slow their load time down.
If you have lots of similar images it will soon become
noticeable how slow your website is running.
So, not only do these images need to be sized accordingly
and reduced to fit your website, but also the memory size needs to be reduced
also.
Your computer screen only displays images at 72 to 96 DPI,
that’s dots per square inch, and so when you’re optimising images, they don’t
need to display at resolutions higher than this.
Optimising images for websites display can be easy, or quite
difficult.
If you’re well healed and have time to learn a new program I
would suggest you invest into photo
shop.
However, and by complete contrast, if you like to keep
things fast and simple I would suggest that you use a program such as Canva to
do the heavy lifting for you.
By the way, you can use canvas free option to achieve this
for you.
Another way of optimising images for the web is to place
them on a 3rd party referencing site such as Amazon A3.
I show you exactly how to use these in the video, so enjoy.
