SEO Pro Tips:
Optimize your Images!
Make sure to optimize your images! The biggest mistake people make is uploading massive images that take too long to load. Here are some free resources to help you make sure your images are web-ready:
⭐ RESIZE YOUR IMAGES
Try to get your image as small as possible without losing quality, and size it for the space it's going to go into:

⭐ COMPRESS YOUR IMAGES
To your eyeballs, there's no difference between a large uncompressed image and a compressed one. However, on your website, it will cause performance issues and hog precious server space, which can cost you money and customers. Use tiny JPG to squeeze every byte you can out of your images. A good rule of thumb is to keep under 125kb (less is better) and use the right image format!
