Images, CSS and Javascript

  • Resize images, never use larger than 2560 x 1600px. You could go further and limit them to the maximum width of your page design, about 960px to 1200px wide.
  • Consider cropping them down to focus on the story or subject you want to highlight.

Image Compression

If you use a JPG quality setting of 80 with any image software the difference is unnoticeable and the compression is nearly as good and sometimes better than the software mentioned above.
