5- Image Optimization
Size of images are also very important.Before uploading images to your site, you want to ensure they are properly optimized for use on your website. This means the images should be as small in file size as possible without compromising the quality of the image.Image Dimensions: Avoid uploading images that are larger than their display size. For example, if the display are on your site for the image in question is 300 x 300 pixels, don’t upload an image that is 800 x 800. Using html to scale the images uses additional resources which can increase the load time of your site.
