Optimizing Gif Images for the Web

Images are an integral part of the “web experience”. Without them a web page looks really dull; however, I have frequently come across web sites where the images take such a long time to load that I either go off to sleep or employ the most frequently used button of the browser – “Back”!

Optimized images are a hallmark of a good web site and they are the first indicators of the skill of the web developer. This is a two part article in which we’ll take a closer look at Gifs and how to optimize them for the web.

Putting Images on Your Web Site

Once upon a time, in the dark ages of the Early Internet, there were no images on the web pages (in fact, this is poetic – no images, on the web pages). There were just links. Hyperlinks, hyperlinks everywhere, and not an image to click.

Few visitors are willing to stare at an empty screen for 10-20 seconds while your graphic image loads. They’re far more likely to leave your site entirely.

Watermarking Images

There are several companies which either sell software and/or their watermarking services. Two of the better known companies are, Digimarc and Signum Technologies. Although, there seems to be no foolproof method to protect your images, these companies seem to offer methods more sophisticated than the norm.
