In most cases there are three types of web image formats JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Choosing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ladybugz.com\/the-importance-of-photography-in-web-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">correct image format<\/a> plays an important role in image optimization. For best practice, you want to use JPEGs for photos or images with many colors, PNGs for basic or transparent images, and the GIF\u00a0 format\u00a0 for animated images only.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First and foremost you want to size and optimize images before you upload them to your site\u2019s media library. You can also manually optimize images within the WordPress Website theme in the site\u2019s media library. This gives you more control over the actual size and quality of the images on your website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also compress images on your website using plugins such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/resmushit-image-optimizer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">resmushit.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/ewww-image-optimizer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EWWW Image Optimizer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can solve this problem.
