How to Make Images Load Faster On WordPress

1. Compress Your Images

[{"selector":"#anim-9a49f554-1227-4585-b33d-b81a5360fad5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4164ce2-dbce-44bd-bd0c-6fdf19911dec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-232ced3c-c6a8-4f34-80f8-bb0beddb127e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 361.41965%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-35951e76-e62e-4c90-8fa0-83089c1bb303","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-94643046-f9af-4be6-b254-ba76fff5742a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 184.53164%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] The most effective way to reduce an image's size and make sure your page loads quickly is to use image compression.

2. Choose The Correct Image Dimensions

[{"selector":"#anim-2d2850d9-824c-449b-9b1a-2a5711f47132","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-29be5c8f-b07d-4095-a777-fe7a7ac72d06","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4cb04598-b86f-4f37-9eb5-80f00c77cbbf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 377.94376%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a3fe0f58-d159-4cac-a5aa-3288b38423f8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-41665800-0cec-493a-9423-4360043a240a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 181.59044%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Correctly sizing photos for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices is another effective way to speed up the loading time on a website.

3. Serve Responsive Images

[{"selector":"#anim-25d53ea8-8992-4eb0-9e6e-fef489f6fe71","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-669b09ad-57ad-4a64-ae45-65d3e6348528","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a4cca0e2-2afd-4ecb-ac3d-bc0046cef8ad","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 351.69740%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0e15a52e-c95d-4e07-b245-439e496fb464","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a8a05001-d54d-401f-a175-8c65eeed3ad5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 176.68849%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Another method for faster image delivery is to use responsive images. Optimizing images for the size of the user's screen keeps them responsive.

4. Convert Images to the Best Format

[{"selector":"#anim-f1a678d5-923b-412d-8523-2e3bc89106cf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b4e8cece-4ab9-4a5c-b7fd-ca23983a5f1b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4e672f56-36a2-42a2-ab05-ac9379ec0e86","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 351.69740%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9c738c66-0787-4ab6-b6c9-da21a3d87539","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b0880ebb-c383-403b-98d7-59eb0af36af4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 176.68849%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image formats like AVIF and WebP are the best for website speed. Both of them offer better compression over conventional PNG or JPEG.

[{"selector":"#anim-564dfb35-f29c-464a-bfc9-921472f05474 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-24.999999544902902%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

5. Implement Image Lazy Loading

[{"selector":"#anim-9a0926d2-3d7e-4a95-8231-47566f61664a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-77adbba1-f179-4185-8de7-4fa9769c8270","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-465d5612-ae1b-4de1-8268-4b7b5a372497","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 351.69740%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-085dc46e-a41e-4e10-adb6-07068ff8a17b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c055c6af-4d1b-4cd3-b434-1f051e42c31e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 240.29633%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Instead of loading every image in the user's viewport, lazy loading loads just the ones that are actually needed.

6. Enable Browser Caching

[{"selector":"#anim-6bf0529b-f829-45db-a994-dca0a4a37ef3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9cd0902-2b35-4986-a8ae-6ce062ca3149","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b53d49f6-6618-419c-8527-90579e06175a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 351.69740%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec80a87b-9367-4c5d-9d17-15fabcb50134","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a94445e8-fa23-42fc-9558-54dadc3d350f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 240.29633%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] One of the best optimization strategies to guarantee multi-photo page loads quickly is image caching.

7. Replace Animated GIFs with Videos

[{"selector":"#anim-a26f77e5-12ad-4f56-85b2-a68c010e2555","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-61c1cdc0-7d27-4a9d-8409-357220bf5897","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2f290197-5300-44b5-b5ba-a95fe1c7d614","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 377.94376%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-227824c0-bd06-46cf-8a54-83e5c4966ba2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b6a501bc-2c76-471b-9594-9af88054dc5e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 178.64931%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Your website's loading speed could improve if you turn an animated GIF into a video. an a.mp4 video file weighs far less than a GIF.

8. Use an Image CDN

[{"selector":"#anim-e92d8310-8420-407f-ad61-e380a98aebfc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08e0d904-5960-435a-a9a2-fdb55a2448ed","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bace480a-ebe3-4297-9d42-13c37a6813ca","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 649.28772%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-33f1baa9-ecf7-49ae-8d31-ef99a4faad87","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8b6aa451-95f6-4241-8162-759a3f8b195b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 209.04146%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] A CDN helps resolve multiple PageSpeed Insights issues and attempts to serve your images more quickly to users in various nations.
