Scaling them appropriately is one of the methods of optimizing images. Many developers use full-size images and then optimize them using CSS.

Enabling browser caching lets you temporarily store some data on a visitors\u2019 computer, so they don\u2019t have to wait for it to load every time they visit your page. How long you store the data depends on their browser configuration and your server-side cache settings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/doc-retrieval.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3087 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/doc-retrieval.gif\" alt=\"doc-retrieval\" width=\"492\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Compression\"><\/span><strong>Compression<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Enabling web compression is like generating its .zip file. Compressing a website can dramatically reduce the page\u2019s size and thereby can knock off 50%-70% from the HTML and CSS files of your website. It\u2019s like reducing tons of extra data that your visitor\u2019s browser had to download, thus speeding up the web loading process.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Compressing_Files_Compressed_Folder.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Compressing_Files_Compressed_Folder.jpg\" alt=\"compressing_files_compressed_folder\" width=\"248\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Compressing_Files_Compressed_Folder.jpg 248w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Compressing_Files_Compressed_Folder-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Compressing_Files_Compressed_Folder-147x146.jpg 147w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Compressing_Files_Compressed_Folder-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Compressing_Files_Compressed_Folder-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Compressing_Files_Compressed_Folder-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Compressing_Files_Compressed_Folder-85x85.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CSS_optimization\"><\/span><strong>CSS optimization<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your CSS loads before people see your site. The longer it takes for them to download your CSS, the longer they wait. Optimized CSS means your files will download faster, giving your visitors quicker access to your pages. Start by asking yourself, \u201cdo I use all of my CSS?\u201d\u00a0If not, get rid of the superfluous code in your files. Every little bit of wasted data can add up until your website\u2019s snail-pace speed scares away your visitors. Next, you should\u00a0minimize your CSS files.\u00a0Extra spaces in your stylesheets increase file size. CSS minimization removes those extra spaces from your code to ensure your file is at its smallest size.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/speed-02-minification.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3089 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/speed-02-minification.png\" alt=\"speed-02-minification\" width=\"346\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/speed-02-minification.png 346w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/speed-02-minification-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/speed-02-minification-205x146.png 205w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/speed-02-minification-50x36.png 50w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/speed-02-minification-105x75.png 105w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_word\"><\/span><strong>Final word<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your online users will always demand a richer online experience.
