Graphics
Graphics can add a nice touch to your Web page. They can also be incredibly frustrating to those with slow connections or text browsers. Here are some tips on using graphics in your Web pages:
- Always provide a text alternative for users with text-only browsers
- Use the alt attribute for users with image loading turned off
- Try to limit the size of inline images - you may consider using the JPEG format which supports compression
- Consider using graphics with less colors
- Use interlaced GIF images to facilitate quicker loading
