Optimizing Image Size
Screen real estate is like physical real estate in midtown Manhattanabsurdly expensive. You get a lot more mileage out of your Web site if you use images with smaller physical dimensions (that is, smaller width and height values). Smaller images download faster than larger ones. Plus, by using smaller images, you can fit more information on the screen before your visitors have to scroll, and your site looks better on the compact displays of portable devices.
TIPWhen you shrink an image, run the resized image through a sharpening filter to bring out the detail. |
