To optimize images for the web is required in order to increase the speed of a webpage, make user experience better and help in SEO. To achieve this, use image compression tools that can reduce file size but still maintain its quality. Choose the right format depending on the type of image you have, e.g., JPEG is good for photos while PNG works for graphics. Resize them before uploading so as not to scale in HTML/CSS which will slow down your website loading time. Name them descriptively and add alt text for SEO purpose. Lazy loading and responsive design minimize loading time by adjusting image dimensions according to device screen sizes. Use CDNs to house and bring pictures worldwide as a way of lowering server load. The utilization of modern formats such as WebP or AVIF could lead to smaller file sizes and better quality while still ensuring browser compatibility. Through these methods website performance will be improved considerably leading to greater customer satisfaction.
