Catalog Images Load Slowly
-
Hi. I’m noticing that some of my products’ catalog images are loading slowly according to Google’s website speed test. My site is Regalities.com.
Here’s my problem step by step.
1. I uploaded products to my Gold Charms category and ran a google speed test.
2. Google said all of my catalog images needed to be compressed.
3. I downloaded each of my product featured images, and edited them in my photo program (paint.net).
4. I scaled them down to roughly 400 by 400 and lowered the quality, this made each image between 50KiB – 100KiB.
5. I ran the speed test again. My rating went from 59/100 to 92/100.I thought I fixed the issue, so I added a few earrings to my website. I edited each of the featured images the exact same way I did for the charms, but I am still getting error notifications from Google telling me I need to optimize the images. I downloaded EWWW Image Optimizer, and ran it on all of the products in my Earrings category, but that didn’t change anything.
I really need to get my pages loading quickly, and I am doing everything in my power to make my images as small as possible. How can I make my categories load quickly?
Again, my website is Regalities.com. It’s still a work in progress, so only a few categories have items. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
