Frequently Asked Questions

Is 500KB good for website images?

Absolutely! 500KB is considered the sweet spot for web images - large enough for excellent quality on high-resolution displays, small enough for fast loading. Most web performance experts recommend 300-800KB for main content images.

How does 500KB compare to other file sizes?

500KB offers much better quality than 100-200KB (government/resume sizes) while being more web-friendly than 1-2MB+ files. It's perfect when quality matters but you need reasonable loading speeds.

Will 500KB images hurt my website's SEO?

No! 500KB is SEO-friendly. Google's PageSpeed Insights considers images under 1MB acceptable, and 500KB provides good quality without significantly impacting Core Web Vitals scores.

Can I use 500KB images for mobile websites?

Yes! Modern mobile devices and 4G/5G connections handle 500KB images well. For 3G or slower connections, consider 200-300KB alternatives, but 500KB is generally mobile-friendly.

What's the best use case for 500KB compression?

E-commerce product images, blog post headers, portfolio showcases, and any web content where visual quality is important but you need faster loading than uncompressed images provide.

Should I compress all my website images to 500KB?

Not necessarily. Use 500KB for main content images, hero images, and product photos. Thumbnails can be smaller (50-100KB), and background images might need different optimization based on usage.
