There are many ways to increase the loading speed of a website. But when we talk about Weebly websites the best we can do to increase the loading time is by choosing the right size and format of image files.
GIF is the smallest image file as compare to JPEG and PNG so its more website friendly and takes no time to load on a webpage but the only issue with this format is that it has a very limited color depicting, in result images are spotty and not every clear.
JPEG is very common image format on websites and also in printing. The resolution and quality of the image is really good but the size of file in this format is much bigger then GIF so it does take time to load.
Last but not the least PNG, which have the excellent color and resolution as compare to any other format also PNG image does support a transparent background so your image can go with any background of your webpage. PNG format is best for icons and logos but again the file size is pretty large so it take alot of time to load.
Choosing the right image format for the right job will surely increase your website efficiency. In places where you do not need high quality images, you can use formats with small file sizes to achieve the same effect.
