Question: Choose all that apply. Which of these are ways to increase your site speed?
- Compress images
- Upload images at the exact dimensions they'll be used
- Add pages to your robots.txt file
- Reduce the number of backlinks to your pages
Explanation
Compressing images reduces file sizes, which decreases page load time. Uploading images at the exact dimensions they will be displayed prevents unnecessary resizing by the browser, improving rendering speed. Faster loading enhances user experience and positively affects SEO, particularly on mobile devices.
Why the other options are incorrect
Add pages to your robots.txt file controls crawling but does not improve site speed.
Reduce the number of backlinks to your pages has no effect on page load performance.
