Thank you for this valuable information! I have discovered the importance of image optimization in my new blogging journey, and it can certainly be a little confusing for newcomers. I use WordPress, and what I am having difficulty with is figuring out how to properly resize images for the site. I use SiteGround for hosting, and I have their Speed Optimizer enabled with is supposed to compress images. I have tried using Canva for resizing, but the finished images always tend to be larger in size than the originals! (400 kb to 2 mb) Is there any concise, detailed tutorial online available that FBP offers or that you know of that goes into this subject? How do new bloggers usually familiarize themselves with image optimization? Any direction you can give me would be so appreciated! Thank you for your valuable time and help!

In reply to Sylwia Vaclavek. Hi Sylvia! Great question. When we export photos from LrC, we set the shortest side dimensions to be 1200 pixels and then play around with Quality % until the exported photo is between 200-300kb. Does that make sense? It should help you avoid the error message!

hi, so when I’m ready to save my photos in LrC, I get this message from LrC, saying: if an image cannot meet the limit (I marked limit the size to 250kb) then it will be exported to the minimum possible file size.
Did you ever see this message from LrC during saving image? I can continue or cancel the export and change the settings. I only have seen this prompt when limiting the size
Thanks

In reply to Kelli Fountain. Hi Kelli! Have you tried adjusting the width of the images to 1200 pixels? More directions here. Let me know if that doesn't make sense!

Great article. My question is what size to shoot or export the photos so that they are the same shape and size on the home page. I use Kale with three photos on the content page and it’s a challenge making them the same size.
