Image Loading Too Slow? Diagnose and Fix It

Introduction

Slow image loading is a common issue for websites. A structured workflow helps you diagnose and fix it fast.

Step 1: Diagnose

Use PageSpeed Insights and check image recommendations. As a rule of thumb, keep most web images under 200KB.

Step 2: Identify root causes

Issue	How to detect
Uncompressed assets	Large file size
Wrong format	PNG used for photos
Oversized dimensions	Rendered size much smaller than source
Too many heavy images	One page has many large files

Step 3: Apply fixes

• Compress images.
• Convert to WebP when suitable.
• Enable lazy loading.
• Use CDN delivery.
