Managing Images on Your Website
Images are essential for enhancing the visual appeal and user experience of your website. Whether you’re setting a featured image for a blog post or updating site images, knowing how to manage and optimize them is crucial. Here’s a guide to help you handle images on your Qtandard website, including finding their sizes and ensuring optimal quality.
Setting a Featured Image for your pages or posts
- A featured image is the face of your pages or posts, appearing first on your pages or posts and when shared on social media.
- To set a featured image, go to the ‘Featured Image’ section in your pages or posts editor.
- Click ‘Set featured image,’ select an image from your library or upload a new one, and click the ‘Update’ button to save the changes.
How to find the size of an image on your site
- Inspect the Image: Right-click on the image on your website and select ‘Inspect’ to open the developer tools in your browser.
- View Image Size: Hover your mouse over the image in the developer tools to see its dimensions.
Replacing images with optimal dimensions
- Adhere to the recommended dimensions for your website when updating or replacing images.
- Using images with optimal dimensions ensures they look sharp and load efficiently, enhancing the user experience.
- Oversized images can slow down your page loading times, while undersized images may appear pixelated or stretched.
Best practices for image quality
- Use high-resolution images but compress them for web use to balance quality and performance.
- Keep a consistent style and size for images across your website for a cohesive look.
- Regularly update images to keep your website looking fresh and relevant.
