Photos and speed

  • Upload your photos to Ghost rather than linking to them from elsewhere. Ghost then makes smaller copies for phones automatically, so pages load quickly.
  • 2000 to 2400 pixels on the long side is plenty. Bigger files only slow things down.
  • Add alt text to every photo (click the photo in the editor and choose “Alt”). It describes the photo for people using screen readers, and helps search engines.
