What is image size?
- The file size of an image (measured in kilobyte).
Why is it important to have images < 100 kb?
- Larger image sizes slow load time on a page.
- Slow load time leads to bad user experience having to wait for images to render.
- Large image files take up unnecessary space on your server.
How can I check the file size of images?
- For individual images, right-clicking on an image and viewing properties/info.
- To bulk check images, use Screaming Frog “Images” tab and filter by “Over 100 kb”.
- Use image-editing software to decrease large image files before uploading to the site.
