| 1. What You Need to Know about File Size. |
| |
| You have to know that your customers are usualy not very patients. Some studies showed us that you will loose a good proportion of them if they have to wait up to 8 secondes for a website to load. So when we think about using images on eBayor even on your blog or message board remember the smaller the better. Well you have to choose a good pic that shows what you want to show but dont make the mistake to use those large image files and then slow down the internet browser of your client. Alkaspace can resize the format of your image file. Don't hesitate to use this feature as often as possible. We recommand that you use the smallest file that shows what you want to show. A file size of about 50 K is usually sufficient. eBay say « resize your image files to approximately 330 pixels high by 440 pixels wide» Also you have to remember that many small pics can take the same time to load as a large one, so just use the number of image files required. |
