Are you worried about the speed of your posts and pages and how much your images are affecting this? When starting a new site many users upload the full-sized images which slow down the site as it grows. In this video, we will show you how to save images optimized for the web to improve performance and keep your website loading fast.

In this guide we use Pingdom to analyze page speed, you can find Pingdom here:
