Optimise Your Website Images

Once upon a time, in a world filled with slow-loading images and frustrating website experiences, a new hero emerged: webp images. These modern image files have become increasingly popular over the years due to their ability to enhance website performance. It’s crucial you optimise your images in WordPress because it helps to make your website load faster thus, improve SEO. Read more on our image optimisation services.

When images are not optimised, they can take a long time to load, which can make the website slow and frustrating. Optimising images means making them smaller in size without losing too much quality. This can be done by using image compression tools, resizing the image to the appropriate dimensions, and choosing the right file format (such as webp).

When images are optimised, they load faster and use less bandwidth. This means that users can access the website more quickly and without using as much data. Additionally, optimized images can improve the website’s search engine optimization (SEO) by making it more attractive to search engines.

What are webp images?

Webp images are designed to offer a better compression algorithm than the standard JPEG and PNG file formats. Webp images use a lossy compression algorithm that allows for high-quality images at a smaller file size. This results in faster loading times for your website.

Why are webp images important for SEO?

One of the most important factors in search engine optimisation (SEO) is website speed. Google considers page speed to be a vital metric in determining your search rankings. Slow websites not only frustrate users but also impact your website’s ability to rank high. Webp images use a lossy compression algorithm, which allows for a reduction in file size. It doesn’t compromise on your image quality.
