How to Reduce the Size of My Images to Improve the Performance of My Webflow Site?

One of the most effective ways to enhance your website's performance is to reduce page loading times. To optimize this process, it is crucial to find efficient methods for optimizing the images on your site.

Here is a two-step method to achieve this goal using ILOVEIMG:

Resize Your Image

There’s no need to have an image formatted at 3000x2500 pixels if you plan to display it within a layout of 800x500 pixels. The best way to ensure your image fits perfectly in its destination is to resize it as much as possible before uploading.

Reducing the image size significantly impacts the file size and is an easy win if done correctly.
