“A picture is worth a thousand words”
This is the reason why images are seen everywhere – in books, in magazines, in newspapers, on roadside banners, on websites, and everywhere else. On the internet, images are used for a variety of reasons – to enhance the look of websites, to demonstrate products and services, to illustrate stories, to display ads, etc. Every Web design company in India will agree that no website can be made without images because an only-text page looks dull and boring, which may disinterest the visitors, thus increasing bounce rates and reducing engagement levels. But, with the use of images, a website becomes heavy. While you can’t exclude images because they impact user experience and ranking, it is important that you optimize them for increasing your site’s speed.
