How to Optimize Images Without Them Getting Blurred
If you have tried to use the built-in SiteBuilder “Optimize Image” icon for reducing the file size of a photograph, it probably got blurred, looks fogy or cloudy. Optimizing photos so they are not murky can be done with a different editor. It’s a bit of a pain to have to do this off of the Homestead SiteBuilder program, but this is what you will have to do to make the pictures look clear and not hazy.
Learning how to work with another program can be frustrating, challenging and fun at the same time, especially if you are hooked on learning website design. Please don’t faint at the suggestion. The editing software I am going to suggest is free and easy to work with.
Altering an Image to Load on Your Site Quicker by Changing the Dpi or Ppi
A digital photo is measured using dots per inch or DPI. Another term that you may see is PPI which stands for pixels per inch.
The recommended dots or pixels per inch for web design are 72dpi. If you are uploading a large size photo, like 600 wide x 400 high, you will need to reduce the pixels per inch to smaller than 72ppi in order for it to load quickly. read How to Optimize Homestead Website Images
