Here are some guidelines for optimizing images for better website performance:
  • Use the Right File Format: For photographs, use JPEG format, and for images with transparency, use PNG format. For simple graphics or logos, consider using SVG format. (Click here to know the Image and Video format)
  • Compress Images: Compress images to reduce file size without compromising quality.

  • Optimize Alt Text: Alt text helps visually impaired users understand the content of an image and also improves SEO by providing context to search engines.
  • Lazy Loading:This can help improve initial page load times and only load images when they come into view.
  • Use Responsive Images:Implement responsive images to serve appropriately sized images based on the user's device and screen size.
  • Enable Browser Caching: Set up browser caching for images to allow returning visitors to load images from their local cache instead of downloading them again. This can significantly reduce load times for users who revisit your website.
