One of the key elements of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the speed at which your site loads, no-one wants to wait patiently whilst a page takes its time to load, of course with faster internet connections, and even mobile offering great speeds on 4G this is not as much as an issue as it used to be, however major search engines will still penalise you for slow loading pages.
There are various factors that affect page load speed, such as hosting, the actual structure and coding of your website, however one of the most common (and the most easy to fix) is image sizes. I have noticed a lot of websites use very high end quality photos, whilst looking great these can put a lot of pressure on the speed of what your page loads.
