How to optimize images for the web #

Resize images #

The way to optimize images is to resize their pixel dimensions. Fortunately, this feature is built into the WordPress core. 

By default, WordPress uses four different sizes of the same image:

  • Thumbnail (150 x 150 pixels)
  • Medium (up to 300 x 300 pixels)
  • Large (up to 1024 x 1024 pixels)
  • Full Size (the original image size)

That being said, you can change them to fit your preferences. Here’s how to change the default WordPress image sizes via the media library:

  1. Open the WordPress dashboard and go to Settings > Media.
  2. Enter your preferred maximum width and height for each size.
  3. Click Save Changes.

How to use internal linking #

  • Drag and drop the Text Editor widget onto the desired section of your page or post.
  • Enter the text or content that you want to turn into an internal link.
  • Select the text or content that you want to turn into a link.
  • In the Text Editor toolbar, click on the link icon (looks like a chain link).
  • Enter the link that you want to put.
  • It could be a post, page, custom post type, or any other dynamic content on your website.
  • Then click the icon ‘arrow’ to apply.
  • You can also edit the internal link by clicking the Setting button beside the icon ‘arrow’.
  • Next, save the changes in Elementor by clicking on the ‘Update’ button.
  • Preview or publish the page or post to see the internal link in action.
