    One way you can compress images is to use a program called Irfanview. It is a free program, where you can resize your images or save them for the web, which reduces the image size considerably. There are also some WordPress plugins that do this but it can slow your site down. I have found it is better to have already reduced before they go in the media library.

    There are various plugins for WordPress But Smush and Imsanity plugins are used to compress image size and maintain image quality. Both plugins come free of cost and are easy to find on the WordPress plugin dashboard.

    There are many free websites where you can get quality images for different topics on a website or blog.

    You can choose sizes and resolutions as per your needs.
    If you want to compress your blog images then you can choose the wp smash plugin, it is good and also compresses the images.

    Buy stock photos from Shutterstock. They usually have the best images available.

    I use this site daily. Not sure if your doing 1000's images, but as I am working and creating images I typically just go here. Drop in the image and it compresses the snot out of it

    Also you will want to have Wordpress hosting that has CDN which cures most of those issues. I just went to GTMETRIX and did a website speed test on one of my sites and it was pretty darn impressive but I have been dealing with hosting issues for a long time

    For now go to https://imagecompressor.com/

    That should help

    Always choose images that contain the message you want to convey.

    For image compression, there are many compressing image plugins in wordpress, but ii can slow-down your site. Better way is to use image compression tools on the web like- CompressJPEG or CompressPNG etc.
