I always resize to 500 wide. What is the best display software for speed?
No, it *really is* the total size of the transmitted files that matters, and the images are the bulk of that.
Small pictures.
To spell it out, make them 500 pixels wide AND save as JPEG at a low Quality number. Some say saving for web gives a smaller file, but I haven’t seen that.
On my web site, the photos are no larger than 500 px high or 780 wide, and I keep the size of each file under 100 KB. You may prefer different numbers. – Max
