Short Answer
Reduce image weight before publishing so pages load faster without looking careless.
Why Compress Before Uploading
Large images slow pages, waste storage, and make mobile visitors wait. Compressing before upload keeps the page lighter.
Choose Practical Dimensions
Resize images to the largest size they need to appear on the page. Uploading a huge photo for a small card usually wastes bandwidth.
Practical Example
A 2400 pixel wide hero photo can often be resized near 1200 to 1600 pixels and exported as WebP or compressed JPEG for a lighter page.
Keep Originals
Save an original copy before compressing. This makes it easier to create a new size or format later.
Check the Result
After compression, inspect important details, text, logos, and product edges before publishing.
