What impact does image size have on WordPress speed?

Larger image sizes on your WordPress website means increased page load times, that in turn means slower WordPress website speed. Large images take longer to download and can also be frustrating to your website visitors which will lead to lower engagement and higher bounce rates. They also consume more server resources, potentially impacting overall site performance, especially on shared hosting. On mobile devices, oversized images can cause layout issues and slower loads. Hence, it is always a good idea to use scaled images and use appropriate dimensions. Fortunately, Fibr.ai will pinpoint the pages with oversized media in its CRO Audit that need resizing to meet performance standards.
