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.

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".
