Defining the Size of Images

[xniickiidx]

I have done an Online Website Report on my website and it is saying that most images I have used don't have defined sizes using width and height attributes in the HTML. I know these attributes are optional, but they are recommended as they help the browser arrange the page faster and I am trying to improve my loading time on my web pages for my online shop.

Could anyone help me or point me in the right direction as to what coding to use in the HTML and what files I need to use to do this?


Thanks in advance for any help.

AFAIK image height & width are not a requirement in HTML5, and pretty pointless when using responsive pages and css sized images as the displayed image size depends on the boroser window dimensions.

Rendering speed is more usually related to the actual download speed of page components (ie the file sizes) rather than the calculations related to object placement. Having fixed sizes for images suggests that you would also need fixed sizes for all other page elements.

I have also seen Google Speed etc whinging about this.. and it is totally silly as Jenks points out

But if your goog speed ranking is important to you you can add say in the template
height="100" width="100" in the img element

css will over ride it and u still have responsive

Google speed thinks its so clever and gives u a couple of % more
