11. Shrink all Images
But what about the tons of images that are already uploaded? That’s where the image optimization plugins come in handy. They scan and optimize your image library and take care of all future image uploads – so you don’t have to do them manually. Examples include Smush Image Compression or the EWWW Image Optimizer.
12. Defer Image Loading
BJ Lazy Load Plugin
We’ve mentioned the BJ Lazy Load plugin earlier in this guide. You can defer the loading of images only when they are visible in the viewer’s viewport. In other words, the image will start loading only when the visitor Country Email List scrolls down to view it. This has multiple benefits:
First, it reduces the number of initial requests – be deferring the image requests when needed
The size of the page decreases, which results in faster loading time
Deferring the images saves bandwidth for both the visitor and the server.
13. Disable Image Hotlinking
Remember freeloaders? Well hotlinking is like freeloading. People who hotlink to your site simply paste the URLs on their website. The image is displayed on their end, but the bandwidth cost is borne by you.
That’s a double loss right there – you pay for the bandwidth and don’t get any visitors in return. Here’s how you can prevent image hotlinking to help block third parties and in turn speed up WordPress.
