As the internet grows, it’s becoming more visually based. Choosing the right image for your site or online accounts can be crucial. Not just any image will do, it has to be the right image, and one that also won’t slow down your website. Beautiful imagery adds credibility, emphasizes post title and text, triggers readers to view posts, and when used on social sites, helps sharing. On top of that, strapping your images with SEO can extend your reach and audience online.
