Images
- Images require bandwidth to download as part of a web page
- The larger the image, the more bandwidth is required
- Large images are slower to download then smaller images
- A page with large images will load slowly
- This causes a negative user experience, and effects our SEO in a bad way
- Users like web pages that load quickly
- If you want to add an image to a page, make sure it is no bigger then it needs to be

Image Transforms
- When adding an image to a page, the popup that lets you select the image will have an option to select an Image Transform
- These transforms will limit the size of the image as it is sent to the user's computer
- Using these transforms is VERY HELPFUL in limiting image sizes and speeding up page loads
- Using these transforms is part of our best practices for web content
