So a common web site misconception is that web site photos need to be 72 dpi (dots per inch) for fast loading and to make sure they don’t take up much space. Yes that fact is true but not at the price of sacrificing a lot of clarity. If you want to make the maximum impression with any web site photography, it’s important to show your photos looking razor sharp. Many company web sites have photos that simply don’t look as good as they could because they are saved and uploaded at too low a resolution. The best Photoshop tip is to save all photos at the desired viewing size you want, in my case I save all photos at 12 inches wide, at 300 DPI or dots per inch at “HIGH” resolution not Maximum. DPI stands for dots per inch” a measurement used to indicate the resolution of an image, particularly when printing, referring to the number of ink dots a printer uses to print an image that’s super sharp. 300 dots per inch means you will have very sharp clarity to the average human eye. This simple Photoshop trick will give you maximum sharpness with web site photos and keep tiny file size, generally 1.4 megs. Most newer Word Press or Wix web site software’s can easily accept this file size and still load a page of photos very fast.
Now you also need a very good hosting company as page speed load time can vary depending on the hosting company and how many hundreds of web sites are sharing the same server. To increase your hosting companies speed of loading these already small file size photos invest in a “Speed Plug in to Word Press” that will double or triple the loading speed so dozens of photos can load at light speed yet won’t lose anything in clarity.
