Optimizing Images

A simple step-by-step guide detailing how to optimize images with a selection of online tools from within your Freewebstore Control Panel.

Optimizing the images that you use on your store can dramatically reduce the time it takes for your store to load. Sales conversion has been proven to be linked to how a website performs, meaning the faster your online store loads, the more likely you are to make a sale.

It is always worth making sure all of the images you are using are optimized as much as possible without sacrificing too much quality.

We recommend you keep your image file sizes to the lowest they can be without compromising the quality. Doing this may be quite complicated for some users who have never done this before and wouldn't know where to start.
