Image Optimization for WordPress website

No image on a website is impossible, even a lot of image appears nowadays since the image can express a lot of words than text, and graphics more than lingual. Some website has a lot of images. Ex: Photography Website, Portfolio Website, etc. If we could optimize the image then the load speed can effectively change. Let’s see how can we optimize images

Image Optimization for Web in Photoshop

The image could be optimized in Photoshop too, by saving for the web versions. After doing the required things, or if nothing to do in Photoshop, just open the image and select “Save for Web” from the top File menu, or press “Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S” from PC or “Command+Shift+Alt+S” from Mac. Save like the image below.

Then Select PNG-24 or PNG-8 and mark keep transparency (if need to keep transparency or don’t want to use any extra white area of that image) from the right top, and Save. See the Save for Web setting shot below.

As there are two separate areas like before, you just need to drag the photo to the left side and you will see what the optimization look will be in the right area. On top of the image, you could see what was the original file size and what supposed to be after optimization.

You can also level the optimization quality to 10-100, see the image below for what area I mean and what you need to seek to suit your needs.

Finally, see on top save button, click on save and you will ask if you want to replace the photo with the original one or not, act what you want. And see how much file size is reduced. This reduction can effectively lessen your website load time.
