How to enable the automatic compression of large images in AnQiCMS and specify the compression width?

In website operation, images are the key elements that attract users and enrich content.However, large-sized images can bring visual impact while also potentially becoming a bottleneck for website loading speed, affecting user experience and even search engine rankings.Anqi CMS understands this pain point, built-in efficient image processing features, including the highly acclaimed "auto-compress large image".This feature is designed to help you significantly optimize website performance and storage space without sacrificing too much image quality.

To enable and configure this utility feature, you simply need to log in to the Anqi CMS admin interface.After logging in, please go to the left navigation bar to find the 'Background Settings' item.Click to enter and select 'Content Settings' from the submenu.

On the "Content Settings" page, you will see a series of configuration options related to content.Please scroll down the page to find a setting item named 'Whether to automatically compress large images'.This feature is turned off by default. To optimize your website's images automatically when uploading, please set it to 'on'.Once enabled, the system will automatically adjust and compress the size of the image you upload, thereby effectively saving server storage space and improving page loading speed.

When the 'Whether to automatically compress large images' feature is turned on, a settings box named 'Automatically compress to a specified width' will appear immediately below.As the name implies, this is where we define the custom image compression size.The system will set it to 800 pixels wide by default. You can flexibly adjust this value according to the actual design requirements and image display style of the website.Please note that the system will only compress images wider than this set value and will adjust the width to the specified value, scaling the height proportionally.This feature mainly judges and processes based on the width of the image.For example, if your website layout mainly uses images with a width of 1200 pixels, setting this to 1200 would be a good choice, as it can ensure both visual effects and control file size.

After completing and saving the above settings, any new images you upload through the backend will automatically follow the compression rules you set.This feature is greatly beneficial for improving the overall performance of the website, enhancing the user access experience, and laying a good foundation for SEO optimization.No need to manually handle a large number of images, Anqi CMS can complete the cumbersome optimization work for you, allowing you to focus more on content creation.When choosing the compression width, it is recommended that you consider the responsive design of the website and the main access devices (such as PC or mobile end) in an integrated manner.A small width can cause the image to blur and affect visual quality;The excessive width may weaken the compression effect, failing to fully utilize the optimization.

The automatic compression of large images in AnQi CMS is a microcosm of its efficient content management strategy.With a simple few steps, you can bring significant performance improvement and operational convenience to your website, making your content marketing journey smoother.
