Website Content Optimization – media library
In this section, I will be walking you through How to optimize the content on your website
media library so that your website can load faster on browsers.
What is Media Library?
the media library is a place that contains all the media files we have stored in our website database. some of the media files
includes videos, images, infographics, audio, pdf, word documents, illustrations, etc.
so right here, we will be learning how to compress or reduce the sizes of our media library files
Website Content Optimization – media library
- login to your WordPress dashboard
- hover your mouse on media panel
- click on library
Hint: if you imported demo data to your website ensure that you visit the media library to see the sizes and dimensions of images on the website
so that you can create your images or resize your images to a bearable size. e.g. open any of your posts and click on the featured images to
see the dimensions of the images that accompany your WordPress theme. though some themes come with different image sizes but
have a plugin to fit images in the image carousel.
How to optimize your images
After creating your original images with Corel draw, photoshop, canvas, postermywall, etc. it is important that you resize the images so that your website won’t be
