The image plays a very critical role in any website, email, or social media but what if the same image is responsible for slow loading of a website or taking much time in uploading.
Even if you provide very quality content but the image does not allow your website to load fast so people lose interest in your site and move to others. As per one study “User wait 4-5 seconds to load any web page”.
Google also not like those site which takes more time in loading and reduces their ranking.
So To get rid of this problem we should reduce the size of our high megapixel image so the webpage will load faster and it saves bandwidth.
You may think about quality losses in the compressed image process but actually not!!
All online image compression tools are created in such a way that you will not lose image quality even a bit But size will reduce drastically. Please make sure not to use any images from Google rather take images from Royalty free images platform.
