I am using wordpress for my blog/site. I ran an analytical tool to check loading speed of my blog/site. It says my images are not optimized.

(i) Please advise tips about what should I do, while uploading images on my site?

(ii) Also what I can do now to optimize the already uploaded images?

  • Any other suggestion.
  • When you're creating images for the web, make sure you save them for the web (less kb - better). Also, never use resizing technique to shrink images. For example, if you in your theme have code like:

    Code:
    <img src="path to image" width="950px" height="440px" />
    Try not to use width and height in code, cause it uses more browser power (lower performance), and if you need to use width and height - always make sure to put accurate size (950x440 in this example) and not larger than that, cause if you have larger image - tools like this will always say - optimize your images.
  • I am agree with WPcrew & topnichewebsites. You can try both. I think it will work. If not then ask again. We will try to give you best solution.

    • Grab Photoshop. Adobe are running a deal at the moment for a mere 8 bucks a month which is amazing seeing it used to be 2k+ Simply then open your image and click save for web making sure its at 72dpi and in RGB... you can get away with lowering the quality size to around 70% too before you see loss of quality.
  • CDN is a must if you want to handle any kind of significant traffic. From a developers perspective, you would want to compress images into sprites if possible.
