Is your Business website taking too long to load?

First published on: 5th June 2017

If your website pages are taking too long to load up to the screen then you may need to review the images you are using.

A common factor that causes websites to slow down when loading is related to the images on your website.  High resolution images that are a large file size take longer to load on slow internet connections or on mobile devices with a poor internet signal.  Image file size should ideally be below 100kb.

To help resolve this problem there are various on-line tools https://www.websiteplanet.com/webtools/imagecompressor/, http://compressjpeg.com and https://tinypng.com to help you compress your image to a smaller file size. 

Ideally, your images should be formatted to jpeg or PNG format.
