Keep Your Web Images Small
Small images means faster page loads. Not everyone has a DSL connection, so you have more flexibility if you keep images optimized, but small.
Web images take the longest to download on most web pages. Optimizing so that you have a faster loading site will keep your visitor around. Remember you only get a few seconds to make a first impression and if they have to hang around waiting for your page to appear--they won't! If you have many images or items that have long download times, make sure you stagger them on your page open so that some text comes up first and they can start reading while the rest downloads.
Learn how to resize images. If you have a photo, make sure it's cropped so that only the relevant part is shown and be sure you use the correct format--most web images are either .jpeg or .gif.
Here's a helpful website for managing images with Microsoft Editor:
