Image Optimization for Websites – A Beginner's Guide
High‑quality images are essential for tourism and product sites, but they can slow down your website. Here's how to optimise.
🖼️ Image Optimisation Steps
1. **Resize images** – don't upload a 4000px photo when 1200px is enough.
2. **Compress files** – use tools like TinyPNG, Squoosh.
3. **Choose the right format** – WebP for web (smaller than JPEG/PNG).
4. **Use descriptive filenames** – e.g., "shimla-hotel-room.jpg" instead of "IMG_001.jpg".
5. **Add alt text** – describe the image for accessibility and SEO.
6. **Lazy load** – load images only when they appear on screen.
