Why would you optimise the images on your website?
Why? It's because images are part of your website and most of this elements inside your website will define whether your website is the most relevant for the users querry.
Have you ever tried to search your company logo or image found in your website in Google?
If you do, did it show? Is it the first image? Or is it somewhere at the bottom? Or no results at all?
That's the main reason why we should optimise are images, because images are one of the key elements that can drive traffic to your website.
Here are some of the few tips I learned on how properly optimise an image.
Name your images in simple but descriptively plain English
Why? It's because most of the time user's will search for images according to their perspective.
For example: I found a motorcycle accessory placed in the back of a motorcycle.
As for someone who do not know the name of the product your not going to search for motorcycle right? Instead you're going to search for "rear motorcycle accessory" and that's how the user's will be able to find your product.
Reduce the file sizes of your images
Why? Images are one of the key factor for a websites page speed and most users will move or check other websites, if they get tired of waiting for your website to load in their browser. A user may move from other websites once a single page / home page loads for more than 5 secs.
You can either compress the image, lower its quality or change its file size to maximise space.
Use alt tags
An alt tag : stance for alternative text, why would you use an alt tag. For example you have this picture of a motorcycle though desktop users can easily view the image it will be hard for mobile users to see what's in there. But, if you used an alt tag the image will be changed in your tag of choice.
Note: it's important to use a simple but descriptively plain English to help your users see what's the missing image in your website.
That's all for today, Thank you
