Image size too large

A webpage that have file sizes that are larger than necessary, leading to slower page loading times. Large image file sizes can significantly impact website performance, especially for users with slower internet connections or when accessing the website on mobile devices. Even though there is no recommended size of any given image, any image that is bigger than 1MB is considered a large image.

How to fix?

  1. Compress Images: Use image compression techniques to reduce the file size of images without significantly sacrificing quality. There are various online tools and software available that can compress images efficiently while maintaining visual integrity.

  2. Choose the Right Image Format: Select the appropriate image format for each image on your webpage. Generally, JPEG is suitable for photographs and images with many colors, while PNG is better for images with transparency or text. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is ideal for simple graphics and icons.

  3. Resize Images: Resize images to the correct dimensions needed for display on the webpage. Avoid using large, high-resolution images when smaller sizes are sufficient. Specify image dimensions in the HTML code to prevent the browser from resizing them, which can improve page loading performance.
