Frequently Asked Questions
What image size is best for websites?
Under 200KB per image is ideal. Hero images can be up to 300KB. Total page images should be under 1MB for fast loading.
How do images affect SEO?
Large images slow page load, hurting Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS). Google uses these as ranking factors. Compressed images = faster pages = better rankings.
Should I use WebP for my website?
Yes. WebP is 30% smaller than JPEG with same quality. Use <picture> element with WebP source and JPEG fallback for full compatibility.
