Optimize Your Images Before Uploading Them to Your Website

07/27/2016 By Kristen Day 57 Comments

Don't lose your followers by slow load times due to large files and imagesWho would have thought that you would need to optimize your images before you upload them to your website, right? Well, I hadn’t thought of it until earlier this year so don’t you worry, you aren’t alone. My website designer and cohort was mentioning it as part of our website build for a client of ours and charging extra to optimize all of their images. Wait, what do you mean, what are you optimizing I said, because when I think optimization, I am thinking about search engine optimization and optimizing images with alt tags and titles.

Size matters

So what she meant is the size of the images. We buy images from tons of different places and depending upon the type of file it is (ie. jpeg, png, etc), they come with various sizes and well… loading up the file as we get may be the largest file size. Or, after we add text to them, borders or our url, they might get larger at that point. Do you know the size of your images you upload to your website?  Consider blogging once a month or even once a week, and how much load time that can take for larger files. How many do you have on a page and what can that do to your overall website speed.

How to optimize your images

That same web geek mentioned Tinypng.com as a website to optimize images but I found a few that were even too
big to optimize there. Ugh, right?  So in my searches I found BulkResizePhotos.com and that allowed me to do the same kind of thing in bulk so those two have been bookmarked on my internet favorites this year. Then, I had asked her about a plugin, heard of one called ‘WPSmush’ by WPMU Dev for WordPress sites. She said that she heard it was pretty good too, even for the free version. So, I figured hey, can’t hurt, so I added that to my site to pick up images already there and additional ‘smushing’ for images I had optimized.

So my point… check out those few FREE sites, or find some of your own, to easily optimize your images before uploading to your site and consider another plugin to optimize images already on your website.  Consider how these little optimization tricks will save your load time on your computer and just your overall space.

Your total images & files on your website will affect the speed – optimize them to get on top of the load speed!

Image changes on this blogOptimize your images to protect your load speed on your website

For example, the two images on this page were (laptop loading images) 2480×2480 (102 KB) and (ipad w images over it) 4300×3000 (2.78 MB). I then reworked the images in PicMonkey where they were changed slightly to 2628×2628 (460 MB) and 3392×2411 (1.30 MB), respectively. However, after optimizing them on TinyPNG, they were optimized back down to 2628×2628 (161 MB) and 3392×2411 (475 KB). The cool thing is that once I uploaded the images to my Media Library on my WordPress site, they were smushed further by 29.64 KB (11.2%) and 23.81 KB (6.5%).  Imagine where these images started when they were ready and where they ended as they were loaded on my website. Now, imagine ALL of your images on your website and how they can affect the overall speed of your website…. You’re Welcome!

Don’t lose your audience during the website load process

Keep in mind that when users come to your website, they are visuals and like to see pictures to help understand the story or what you are explaining but when your images take up so much time for your website to process, it becomes slow. Nothing like getting to a fabulous website and everything loads slowly… Bye Felicia… you are losing your readership. You need to be sure your website is readable but also loads fast enough. We only have so much time to capture our audience, make sure it isn’t while your page is buffering or loading.

Use tools to optimize images so it doesn’t kill your website load speed & eventually the end user.

    Great tips. I have used WP Smush and it works pretty well. The first time I did it, years ago, the images were way too big. It wouldn’t Smush them. I think the limit was 1 MB. Thanks for sharing.

    Great information Kristen. I mostly use my own photos and upload them to Canva to get the size I want and add text etc but I’m not sure if that actually optimises them. I tend to use quite a few pics in each post, especially my craft projects, so I’ll definitely check out WP Smush. Thanks fo the tip.

      Consider the dimensions but also the full size. I will tell you the only thing Canva or PicMonkey does is changes the dimensions not the full size. Definitely check out WP Smush Tami!

    Thanks, Kristen! This is great info… I have had trouble with the size of my images sometimes. If I install the plugin, will it check what’s already there and fix things? I shudder to think about going thru all my pics and reloading… If there are a few that are too big, I could handle it. Thanks!

      WP Smush will only review so many images, 50 I think for a period of time. I agree that you aren’t going to want to go back and redo all images… however, what you might want to do is start doing it correctly now and each week update one or a few old ones that didn’t get Smushed Kim.

    This is one of my favorite? hot-button topics. It’s one of the first things I do with all my web clients. Maybe because I’m an image geek. BTW, love WPSmush. It’s the best I have found yet.

    And once you get the sizing right, then it’s time to think about naming and alt tags. Great first steps for making your images benefit your website.

    I thought of search engine optimization, too, when I saw the title of the post. This is an important topic, because if your images are not optimized right, and your page loads slowly, you will lose a lot of visitors. It gets frustrating to be on a site that takes a long time to come up. Thanks for the information.

    My images were optimized when I had my VA completing my blog. She would make sure the images are low-resolution and sized appropriately for web us, name the images with descriptive titles, define Alt Text for each image and add a title for each image. I’ve been handling my blogs for the last few months and I rarely do any image optimization other than define the Alt Text…just been “slapping” them up due to time constraints.

      Not likely since yours isn’t a WordPress site. I would suggest using the other tool – TinyPng.com to make yours smaller and then upload. However, you don’t have a ton of content/blogs, but it would still be good to do it as you upload more/new content than to deal with it later when you have a ton. Thanks Virginia! PS – more blogs!!!! 😉

      And you need to be sure you add at least an image for each blog and page on your site.

Kristen was amazing in helping us build 2 websites for our childcare center. She was very helpful, took the time to walk me through everything and made sure all of our questions were answered. Thanks for everything 🙂

Kristen Rocks!  

Kristen listens to your current online marketing strategies (or absence of), asks pertinent questions to better understand your vision and goals for your business or organization, and then proposes options as she digs into her tool box of experience and resources. She has been a gem to work with! She will teach you what you want to know to DIY, or she can do the work for you if you prefer. She's the perfect team player to buddy up with. I highly recommend Kristen, A Visual Business.

Exceeded Expectations!  

Kristen did amazing job across the board, for our website build. She kept the process simple, and I could not be happier with the end result. Simply fantastic!

Dennis Stetzel   
Great Professionalism and Results!  

After living through an absolute nightmare of outsourcing the managmement of our Google Ads account that cut our revenue in half, we were introduced to Kristen. She took a professional approach, working with us to understand our business, set-up some straightfoward campaigns, regulary review and tweak and always working with a sense of urgency, attention to detail and great communication, turned things around. Just a few months later, we are now moving past our previous peak and into new territory in the number of leads, conversions and revenue.

Tom Howard   
Great ad partner!  

Kristen has been fantastic to work with. She knows Google Ads, will work with me on strategy and provides very thorough reporting. I'd recommend her to anyone!

Great job and very nice service!

First class service and super friendly too..  

Despite being based in the UK we managed to find Kristen via referral. She has always delivered on brief, on time and on budget. The UK/USA distance was no problem either. The service has always been exceptional and all done with a happy positive attitude. Would definitely recommend if you are looking to outsource you PPC

Great job  

Great job on rewriting and posting my blogs for me. While my ideas were spot on, I did not write it correctly. You said it all in a professional manner for me. Really good job!!

Paid Ads - She's Been Amazing  

We were referred to Kristen from another business owner for Paid Ads on Google (PPC). I had been running PPC myself but wasn’t getting the results we needed and we were headed into our busiest time of year (Black Friday and Christmas) and we had hefty goals that we needed to meet. I had been frustrated with the lack of return and super busy with all of the other marketing responsibilities I needed to fulfil at the company.

So, we got started with Kristen and a $2,000 budget with the hope to get a 2.0 return on ad spend. Within the first week we were seeing good results and increased to $2,500 and ended the month spending $3,000. The following month we started with $3,000 and ended up spending $4,000. We were seeing a 3-4.3 return on spend and Kristen explained things really well and showed the results for her ads as well as our overall traffic which helped me understand our overall position going into the holidays.

The following month was our biggest month with the most aggressive goals and we spent $10,000 in Nov and $8,000 in Dec and still maintained at least a 3.3 return and up to 4.5 and never lost steam. Kristen kept me appraised of our spend and results and kept working on the ads throughout the month, working with me on our holiday promos and discussing the results of the ads and all traffic. I was relieved to know that I could focus on the other marketing efforts and responsibilities while Kristen took care of the ads and did so much better.

I would recommend Kristen to any business owner looking to improve their visibility online and to grow their business with paid ads. She’s been AMAZING.

The client had previously been working with a digital agency that was mishandling their account. I brought in Kristen as the new PPC Manager and Strategist on the account and the results have been outstanding. The quality of inbound PPC leads has raised exponentially and the conversion rate on those leads is close to 40% - keep in mind this commercial real estate is in the millions of dollars for sales. We've gotten a very positive ROI working with Kristen and will continue working with her as long as possible! I can't wait to plug her into more projects.

I Recommend A Visual Business  

Kristen is extremely helpful. I lost 90% of my sales as I migrated to a new domain. She helped me in gaining visibility through PPC for instant results and also started working on SEO for long term results. I recommend A Visual Business to the people who are looking for PPC and SEO services.

Most everything I know about SEO, I learned from Kristen  

Whenever I need to know how to do something with SEO, I know I can turn to Kristen for just the right assistance. She's at the top of the game when it comes to SEO and PPC marketing, and her knowledge has really helped me grow my online magazine. She's a great resource and her regular blog posts offer so much value. I treat it like a learning library. And you'll learn even more in person! With Kristen's help, my online magazine has grown rapidly. We're approaching our one year anniversary, and the growth we've achieved wouldn't have been possible without Kristen's instruction. If you need growth, call Kristen!

Kristen is professional, efficient, and a magic worker. She fixed a problem on my site I have been trying to sort for a few years, and she did it patiently and with no fuss. I cannot recommend her expertise enough. My only regret is that I didn't know her when I was setting up my site as I know she would have saved me much time and many headaches. If you want friendly, professional and expert help, you don't have to look further than Kristen. She is definitely my go to person from now on.

I cannot say enough about working with Kristen. If you want fast, efficient and professional this is the place and Kristen is the lady!!! I tried the DIY and got so frustrated and resentful... one conversation with Kristen and she told me exactly what was needed to get my site up and running. I was so tired of DIY I asked her to GO FOR IT... and she did. I couldn't believe how quick Kristen took care of things that I had been working on for not only hrs but in a couple cases... days. I am over-the-moon happy with how things turned out and I know that Kristen will be my GO TO GIRL for all website and online needs from here on out. Don't waste your time on DIY... Kristen has you covered!!!

What a great experience I had working with Kristen. I've worked with other SEO companies in the past who talked a great game, but didn't really do a whole lot. Kristen goes above & beyond to make sure you understand exactly what it is she's doing and why she's doing it. I've learned quite a bit and enjoyed the processed.

There are no words to express my gratitude for all that Kristen Wilson has done to enable me to grow as a business owner, with a global presence. She is "brilliant"! Extremely proficient at her craft; she is efficient and genuinely cares about her clients.

She has diligently handled every concern and need large or small (SEO, blogging, website building, pluggin questions, coaching and so much more) for our organization with an extreme level of importance.

Thank goodness for "A Visual Business"!

Just Brilliant! I live in the UK and have had several Skype calls with Kristen to help me with some SEO work on my corset business. I ranked silly like on pages 40 nine months ago, now on several keywords i am on page 3! In my niche, that's pretty impressive.
I would highly recommend working with Kristen if you need help with any SEO work, she's great.

Kristen knows her stuff. She gave a great seminar today at the League City Chamber and reinforced why I need to use Social Media more.

I am so glad I just happened to see this class announced on Facebook! I'm new to Texas and starting a new business . . . in case you didn't know, it's very difficult to start a business when you know no one! I learned so much in Kristen's class! I've already made some changes to what I was already doing and begun using ideas and applications she suggested!

Kristen took a subject (SEO) about which I was completely ignorant and frankly, afraid of, and made it understandable. After just an hour with her, I'm confident that I can implement the changes she suggested. Her professionalism and knowledge are exemplary. I will heartily recommend you to others! Thank you!

I took a class with Kristen on Social Media and while I knew a bit about how Facebook works but after the class and some additional question and answers, I began to understand better how it works. I just wish other people and business owners understood the filters in Facebook and the value of the comment and share versus the like. I would highly recommend Kristen’s classes, using her services or having her help you with a consultation as it would be valuable to you and your business.

Kristen Wilson of A Visual Business knows about search engine optimization and social media marketing. Just a few tweaks here and there to my website and I have seen a difference in the stats. I really like how she also takes the time to not only explain what she will do, but breaks it down into laymen terms so I understand just how it will benefit my business. She's been a real treasure to work with!

I have been impressed with Kristen's knowledge since the first time I met her. She knows her stuff when it comes to SEO, and she will help you maximize your efforts. Having a website isn't enough. We must know how to best attract the RIGHT people. Since applying her suggestions, my website has been in the top three with search engines. Get seen by using her services.

Kristen is a marketing machine, period. Results driven and client centric creating a perfect match for my clients and my way of doing business. Her attention to detail and organizational skills are unmatched along with the fact that Kristen is consummate professional.

I had the pleasure of attending Social Media/Network Marketing training today with Kristen Wilson, the owner of A Visual Business. She has a refreshing approach to a tedious process we all deal with, Internet Marketing. I was immediately able to take her ideas and implement them on my company's Facebook page with instant results. No sooner had I made the updates she taught in class, than responses started pouring in. If an Internet presence is key for your company, if curb side appeal is and element used in your Social Media, if you want to be the one that stands out in your industry, then Kristen has the components you've been looking for. The great thing is that the information is in a digestible format and will give you the edge you need to get your company noticed.

I have known Kristen Wilson for several months and have worked with her not only on my site but as a partner with one of my own website development clients. She is knowledgeable, responsive, thorough and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is looking with help on SEO or PPC for their website.

I started working with Kristen about a year ago. I just started researching around on creating a new website for my company and I ran in to her at a local networking group. She helped me create my current web page and boosted it to the top 3 home inspection web sites with in 7 months. She is always by the phone and is happy to help . Thank you Kristen for all your hard work and your honest opinion it really shows in my business everyday.

I can't recommend A Visual Business strongly enough. I have spent thousands of dollars on traditional magazine ads that yielded little to nothing in return. Kristen goes out of her way to ensure that her customers are happy and well taken care of. She always exceeds our expectations.

When I reached out to AVB, Kristin reviewed my website in advance, and at our first meeting, she suggested a lot of improvement before we initiated the contract. Within days of moving forward, our new patient volume increased dramatically. We have been consistently busy ever since.

Kristen is working with me on my Website with Terrific results. She has helped me understand the importance of local content and persuaded me to blog more often. She's also made very constructive insight on layout, design and general website flow. I highly recommend her services.
