    @watson90 You don’t have to crop them, you can compress the file size (not resolution).

    I was able to get one of your images that was over 1MB down to under 150Kb

    This is what I did:

    1. Uploaded the image to http://www.imageoptimizer.net/Pages/Home.aspx and then downloaded it.

    2. I took the optimized image and uploaded it to http://smushit.com which compressed the file slightly more.

    3. You’re done. Just upload the new images to your server. Remember to rename them what they originally were.

    A noob error by myself: first website actually online.

    @watson90 Hey, I went ahead and compressed them for you. You can download the zip file that has the original images and the optimized versions.

    @Watson90 No problem. Just let us know when you get those images uploaded so we can test the difference. Oh and I renamed the files for you so all you have to do is drag and drop all of them in Filezilla (choose the overwrite option).

    Hey @ChristopherBurton, I have uploaded the Optimized images now to the server and got rid of the HUGE ones!

    @Watson90 That’s a significant difference in loading time.

    I ran the test and seen it as 15s, is that still pretty bad? Because its a photography website it might get huge. Is it down to the host for speed also?

    @Watson90 Mine was at 4s. I think it depends on your connection.

    I would use a CDN service like Cloudflare (which I use) or W3 Total Cache
