 <\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that content and backlinks are essential for achieving high search rankings. Everyone focuses on content and links, but few <\/span><\/p>\n

give the images published in their articles the attention they deserve\u2014even though images can lower your rankings or help push your website higher in search results.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, I\u2019ll share 10 important tips for handling the images you use on your website and include in your articles. Follow these tips as closely as you can <\/span><\/p>\n

to improve your search rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Tip 1: Image size<\/span><\/h2>\n

As a website administrator, you should know that users are impatient and their patience runs out quickly. You have 3 seconds for your page to load in the user's browser; otherwise <\/span><\/p>\n

\u0633\u064a\u0631\u062a\u0641\u0639\u00a0Bounce Rate<\/a>\u00a0\u0648 \u0633\u064a\u0631\u062a\u0641\u0639 \u0632\u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u062d\u0645\u064a\u0644 \u0648 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u062a\u0627\u0644\u064a \u0648 \u0643\u0646\u062a\u064a\u062c\u0629 \u062d\u062a\u0645\u064a\u0629 \u0633\u064a\u062a\u0631\u0627\u062c\u0639 \u062a\u0631\u062a\u064a\u0628 \u0645\u0648\u0642\u0639\u0643 \u060c \u0644\u0643\u064a \u062a\u0633\u0631\u0639 \u0645\u0646 \u0632\u0645\u0646 \u062a\u062d\u0645\u064a\u0644 \u0635\u0641\u062d\u062a\u0643 \u0623\u0648\u0644 \u0645\u0627 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0643 <\/span><\/p>\n

consider is reducing the size of the images used on your site. Smaller images help your site load faster and therefore \u062a\u062d\u0633\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0631\u062a\u064a\u0628<\/a> \u060c <\/span><\/p>\n

To reduce image sizes, follow these two guidelines:<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Reduce image dimensions:<\/span><\/h2>\n

If the area where the page displays the image is 500 \u00d7 500, try to upload an image with the same dimensions\u2014that is, 500 \u00d7 500. Larger images <\/span><\/p>\n

have larger file sizes and won\u2019t give you better results when the space allocated for the image is only 500 \u00d7 500.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Reduce file size:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Check an image\u2019s file size before uploading it. There\u2019s no benefit to uploading images larger than 5 MB; larger files mean longer loading times.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, reduce the image file size before uploading it. You can do this using Photoshop or one of the free websites that offer this service online. Here are <\/span><\/p>\n

some websites you can use:<\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.reduceimages.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/jpeg-optimizer.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/webresizer.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/compressjpeg.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.resize-photos.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Tip 2: Image name<\/span><\/h2>\n

Search engine crawlers can\u2019t see or recognize images, so you need to help them by choosing descriptive names <\/span><\/p>\n

for your images that reflect their content. For example, if an image shows how to do a fitness exercise, don\u2019t name the file pic1.jpg or <\/span><\/p>\n

image3.jpg. Instead, give it a descriptive name, such as fitness-exercise.jpg. The name should reflect the image\u2019s content. Another point I\u2019d like to mention is keywords. <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no harm in including Keyword<\/a> Include it in the image name, but don\u2019t overuse it\u2014keep it natural and unforced, as repetition may lead to<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0644\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0642\u0648\u0628\u0627\u062a .<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Tip 3: Alt text or Alt tag<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s very important to add a description for every image you upload to your website that reflects its content, in the alternative text field, also known as the Alt tag. This <\/span><\/p>\n

helps improve search rankings. Alt text is used with images to help people who are blind browse the internet. Special software <\/span><\/p>\n

reads the alt text aloud so they can understand what the image depicts, since they cannot see it.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Tip 4: Image sitemap<\/span><\/h2>\n

A sitemap is an XML file that acts as a guide to the sections that make up a website. It is used Search engines<\/a> by search engine crawlers during the crawling process. <\/span><\/p>\n

This helps Google index the different sections of a website. To ensure proper indexing, Google recommends that webmasters add a sitemap. <\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure your website\u2019s pages are indexed correctly, create an image sitemap if you want Google to index the images on your site. If <\/span><\/p>\n

you have a large number of images on your site, create a dedicated image sitemap. <\/span><\/p>\n

After creating the sitemap and uploading it to your site, remember to add it to Google Search Console.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Tip 5: Add a title to the image<\/span><\/h2>\n

An image title is the description displayed below the image. Be sure to distinguish between the image filename, alt text, and image title\u2014each is <\/span><\/p>\n

different, and you should include all three when using images. Users and search engines both read image titles, so add titles to your images. <\/span><\/p>\n

Learn what these images contain.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Tip 6: Use compressed images<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before uploading an image, check its file extension. The extension indicates the image format and whether it is compressed. Always use compressed images on your website to ensure <\/span><\/p>\n

faster page load times. Common image file extensions include GIF, PNG, and JPG.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0632<\/p>\n

Tip 7: Host your images on other websites<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you have many images and want to display them at high resolution without reducing their quality, and your website is hosted on a slow server,<\/span><\/p>\n

it\u2019s best to upload your images to other websites so they don\u2019t affect your page\u2019s load time. Here are some sites you can use for <\/span><\/p>\n

image hosting:<\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/postimage.org<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/imgur.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/tinypic.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Tip 8: Disable images when the site is opened on a smartphone<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve discussed the importance of making websites mobile-friendly in many of our articles. We\u2019ve also noted that mobile-friendly websites receive a higher score from <\/span><\/p>\n

Google\u2019s algorithms. If images on a page aren\u2019t essential and users can do without them, you can detect the device being used to <\/span><\/p>\n

browse and hide the images when it\u2019s a smartphone. This reduces the time it takes to load the page on a smartphone.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Tip 9: Reuse the same images<\/span><\/h2>\n

Users often reuse the same image in multiple articles and pages, uploading it again each time even though <\/span><\/p>\n

the image is already available. As a result, whenever a user opens a page containing the image, the browser downloads it again. When reusing the same <\/span><\/p>\n

image, don\u2019t upload it again. Use the image once to ensure it\u2019s downloaded only once by the user\u2019s browser.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Tip 10: Use a hyphen (-) instead of an underscore (_):<\/span><\/h2>\n

Google prefers using a hyphen (\u2013) in image names. You can use spaces instead, of course; this isn\u2019t required, but the hyphen is preferred. <\/span><\/p>\n

When separating words in image names.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
