Size still matters on the web

With Full HD displays now a working minimum standard, and even budget smartphones boasting at least five megapixel cameras, it’s easy to forget how important image size is on the web. When someone is creating a website, it’s incredibly important to consider bandwidth.

While one large, high-resolution image may not be a problem for a modern broadband connection, cluttering your site with high-quality assets can make the browsing experience a real drag – and you'll have to pay for the inflated hosting costs too!

It’s not just webmasters who have to deal with oversized images. If you’ve ever tried to email someone some photos, the total size of the email can be a shock when you have to email ten or twenty snaps. That’s why an online image optimizer is your best friend when it comes to uploading, sharing, or hosting images.
