image resize

[lve]

Hello,

I know laytheme compresses images automaticly. But what about the library? If I upload images, will they be saved in the library in their original format - and so, take up a lot of web space?
Can this slow down the website? What format would you advise to save my images in general? Now I have a lot of jpg's of 4500x3000 px (2-3 mb per image), should I already save them in a smaller compression beforehand?

Thank you in advance!

Best,
Loes

Hi Loes,

you are right. In the library the original files are piling up.

I would advise you to have a maximum size of 2500px and try to keep every image under 1 mb.

It will not really slow don your website though – even if you have big images online. But of course it can be more heavy for your server and to optimize the images upfront is for sure a good idea.

I hope I could help you!

Have a good day!
