Size Intro Images

Hi there,

I found the size of the images used in the intro module is 1121 x 746. Which size and resolution do you suggest to have better results of performance and quality?

Thank you

Hi,
It hard to say, because this template is more like Artistic not a speed one.
But sure if it's possible use graphic made using small number of colors, if more detailed pictures then more KB they take. Check which PNG or JPG will be better for your project.

Try to add this at the bottom of .htaccess file:

Code: Select all

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
        # Enable expiration control
        ExpiresActive On
 
        # Default expiration: 1 hour after request
        ExpiresDefault "now plus 1 hour"
 
        # CSS and JS expiration: 1 week after request
        ExpiresByType text/css "now plus 1 week"
   ExpiresByType text/xml "now plus 1 week"
   ExpiresByType text/ini "now plus 1 week"
        ExpiresByType application/javascript "now plus 1 week"
        ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "now plus 1 week"
 
        # Image files expiration: 1 month after request
        ExpiresByType image/jpeg "now plus 1 month"
        ExpiresByType image/png "now plus 1 month"
        ExpiresByType image/vnd.microsoft.icon "now plus 1 month"
        ExpiresByType image/x-icon "now plus 1 month"
        ExpiresByType image/ico "now plus 1 month"
        ExpiresByType image/icon "now plus 1 month"
        ExpiresByType text/ico "now plus 1 month"
 
</IfModule>

you may ask your hosting provider if this will work on your server.
Or maybe there is another way to cache your images.

Few tips:

Depending on how many colors are used in a photo/graphic, you can reduce the color format of the image (compress) to make its file size smaller. Compressing a picture makes the color take up fewer bits per pixel, with no loss of quality.

You may be able to optimize your images by using an external graphics-editing program, such as Adobe Photoshop or FREE IrfanView (use Save for the Web option).
