Tips for Optimized Images on WordPress

Most of the time, the image file weight is not suitable for a WordPress site and impacts its loading speed. This aspect over time will make you lose traffic, as it mainly hinders the positioning of your site. Thus, compress images allows you to offer a functional overview that facilitates navigation of your site by Internet users.

In this case, it is recommended to use an optimization plug-in to compress the images. Among others, Imagify remains the reference tool for optimizing images. Also, Imsanity and WP Smush are alternatives for Imagify. Some tools are paid and others are free. The advantage of these tools is that they don't impact the quality of the pictures in any way, even when manually resizing one or more supports.

However, to improve the use of optimization tools and ensure its effectiveness, consider the following guidelines:

• Evaluate the size of the thematic: be aware that on a Wordpress site, Widgets and themes determine the size of the pictures;
• Reduce the weight of images and choose the appropriate format: JPEG, GIF, PNG;
• Select the appropriate graphic resolution before uploading them: the file size should be as small as possible.

Makeup: a Free Change Image (Basic Photo Editor) Utility for Windows

A free convert image utility (photo editor) for windows by Ken Ward. This free program can compress a JPEG and make the file smaller while retaining acceptable quality in the image. It can also change the brightness, contrast and sharpness of the image, and rotate the image. Makeup can also change the colours...

Makeup is a free program that enables you to reduce the file size of JPEG images. It also does a few other things too. JPEG images have a compression quality, where the size of the image is reduced and its quality is reduced too. Usually, you can reduce the quality of the image to make the file size much smaller, as when you wish to put the image on the internet or send it by email. Reducing the quality may not make the image look significantly worse.

Makeup is a beta program, and all the buttons, etc, might not line up. Feedback is appreciated.

Makeup is supported only by donations, and does not contain any spyware, or similar hidden programs.

Makeup is a free program, and you don't need to pay anything for it. It doesn't contain pop-up ads or other annoying things. However, the program isn't free to maintain and wasn't free to create, because it contains commercial components and was built with professional programming software. It isn't a cheap program, and rivals many commercial programs in simplicity and ease of use. A donation would be much apreciated because it would help to further maintain and develop the program, keep it freely available and support the development of further free programs. Having said that, the program is completely free and you don't have to pay a cent!

Please download the program and have fun :-)

History

We had a bad pdf file to process - the image were too faint and crooked. So we extracted them and found we had about 150 enormous images to process. The thought of using a High-Street program to do this... waiting for it to load the images, going through the menus and waiting for it to process the files... there had to be a better way. So rather than to do this boring task

Much better to spend a couple of hours writing a program to do these basic things...

... several weeks or months later Makeup appears.

Makeup is a basic image editor that can resize JPEG images and compress them. You can also use it do other things such as enhance the contrast, sharpen and lighten (and darken) the image. After processing the image, you can save it as a JPEG, where you get a dialog where you can change the compression quality and save the file.

Processing of the original images is nearly finished:-)
