hello

how can i make image load fast at my website .

To make it physically load faster you can get a faster server. But a clever optimisation technique is limit what it actually has to load so it appears faster. We do this by bringing the size of the picture down.

there are several ways to this by changing the format .gif , .jpg , .png each are used differently.

Also you can zoom in on the image then save it again this will lower the quality and the image size.

If you dont have any good tools to do this you can use paint. if you want more help tell me what type of image you are talking about.

 

Use photoshop or some freeware online like GIMP to resize the image, this is the best way to make it load faster and still keep a similar quality without having to spend money on buying a better host or server.

You can use actions in photoshop to make this process even faster

 

reducing file size is the key.

 

as long as the browser is not resizing the images you should be fine, also be sure to declare the width and height on all your images.

There is also some preloading image scripts.. search Jquery Preload Image .. on GOOGLE
