Discover handy tips for optimizing images to boost loading speeds in Webflow. Improve your site's performance with simple yet effective image tweaks, ensuring a smoother and faster experience for users.
Improving how quickly images load on a Webflow site is all about a few simple but effective tricks to keep things smooth and visually sharp. When images are too big and not optimized, they can make the site sluggish and affect the experience for users in a big way.
To avoid this, resize images to fit the need perfectly. Choose the right format - whether it's JPEG, PNG, or WebP - each has its own best use. Compress images to trim down their file size while trying to keep the quality as high as possible. Go a step further by using responsive images that adapt perfectly to different devices. And don't forget, Webflow’s own tools can really make a difference in bumping up speed and boosting overall site performance.
Picking the right image format is super important for optimization. You’ve got a few common web formats to choose from: JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP.
Shrinking the file size of an image without losing much quality is key. Use online tools or software to compress images before uploading them:
Resize images to their display dimensions instead of using large images scaled down by code. Work with the Webflow Designer to set the right dimensions:
Webflow automatically generates responsive images, creating smaller versions of your images to load the most appropriate one based on the user's device:

and srcset
attributes properly.Lazy loading delays the loading of images until they are in or near the viewport:

Take advantage of caching policies to speed up image delivery for returning visitors:
Keep an eye on and audit the performance of images:
