Image Alt Text (Alternative Text)
The alt text of an image is a short description of the image.
When uploading an image to WordPress, the Alternative Text field MUST ALWAYS be filled in.
If you insert an image on a page manually using the <img> tag, you need to also add the alt attribute manually.
For example, in this code, <img src="/photos/campus-view.jpg" alt="CGU campus view" />, the alt attribute is alt="CGU campus view".
Image Optimization
PNG images are not supported on CGU websites. If your file is a PNG, then convert it to JPEG.
Before uploading an image to the website, the image resolution needs to be reduced from full resolution to the appropriate size:
Header Image – 1500px wide by 700px high.
Body Image – 900px wide by 600px high. (image for the body of the page)
Profile Image – 900px by 900px.
Make sure images are saved as JPEG at 50% quality and no bigger than 200kb in file size. The smaller the file size, the faster your image will load.
