In the context of the increasing importance of content marketing and search engine optimization (SEO) today, the quality and optimization of website images have a crucial impact on the overall performance of the website.Images can not only enhance user experience and make content more attractive, but are also one of the important dimensions for search engines to evaluate website quality.The efficient image optimization not only accelerates the page loading speed, but also helps search engines better understand the image content through correct property settings, thereby bringing more natural traffic to the website.

Improve page loading speed: WebP format conversion and intelligent compression

The website loading speed is a key factor in search engine ranking, and image files are often the main reason for slowing down website speed.AnQiCMS provides a series of solutions to ensure that images maintain high quality while also having smaller file sizes.

In the "Background SettingsWebP is a modern image format that, while maintaining the visual quality of images, can be smaller in file size than traditional JPEG or PNG formats.After enabling WebP conversion, the system will automatically convert newly uploaded images to WebP format, significantly reducing server storage space and user download time.For the images that have already been uploaded, AnQiCMS also provides a batch conversion tool to WebP, which is convenient for us to upgrade the images on the entire site.

Additionally, the "Auto-compress large images" feature can intelligently compress images that are too large to the preset width, such as the default 800 pixels.This means that no matter how large the original image we upload, the system will automatically process it to avoid affecting page loading due to the large size.These automated processing workflows greatly reduce the burden of manual optimization, while ensuring that the website can respond quickly on different devices, thereby enhancing user experience and search engine friendliness.

Unified visual experience: Intelligent thumbnail management

一个专业且具有吸引力的网站，其图片展示往往是统一且规范的。AnQiCMS的缩略图管理功能可以帮助我们轻松实现这一目标。

In the "Content Settings", we can choose different "thumbnail processing methods", such as "proportional scaling based on the longest side", "filling based on the longest side", or "trimming based on the shortest side".These options ensure that the thumbnails generated will maintain a consistent size and style regardless of the original image aspect ratio, thus avoiding layout chaos due to inconsistent image sizes.At the same time, we can also customize the 'thumbnail size', setting the **width and height** according to the needs of the website template to achieve the **display effect**.

For articles that have not manually uploaded thumbnails, AnQiCMS also supports the 'default thumbnail' setting to ensure that the page will not display blank or missing images even if some content does not explicitly specify a thumbnail.And when releasing documents, the system automatically extracts the first image from the document content as a thumbnail, further simplifying the content release process.If you need to adjust the size or processing method of the thumbnails that have already been generated, the system's 'Batch regenerate thumbnails' feature allows us to update all thumbnails of the images with one click, without the need to operate one by one.These refined management features not only enhance the overall aesthetics of the website, but also indirectly increase users' trust and time spent on the site, having a positive impact on SEO performance.

Maintain content security and stability: Image localization and watermark

The source of the website images is diverse, sometimes referencing images from external websites.The “Whether to Download Remote Pictures” feature of AnQiCMS can help us download these remote pictures to the local server, avoiding the impact on website stability and user experience due to the failure or slow loading of external links.The localization of images can reduce dependence on external resources and improve the integrity and controllability of the website's own content.

Moreover, in order to protect the copyright of original content, AnQiCMS is built with the 'Anti-Crawling and Watermark Management' feature.We can add watermarks to the uploaded images, effectively preventing unauthorized content theft and plagiarism.This not only protects our labor results but also indicates the originality of the website content to search engines, helping to establish the authority of the website.

Optimize image semantics: Alt text and filename

Although the document does not directly mention the setting of 'Alt text' and 'file name' when uploading images, this is still an indispensable part of image SEO.AnQiCMS provides the "Custom URL" and "Advanced SEO Tools" (such as keyword library) features, we can cleverly utilize these tools to indirectly optimize images.

When uploading images, try to use file names that are descriptive and contain keywords, such asanqicms-go-cms-platform.webpInstead ofimage123.webp.It is more important to add accurate Alt text (alternative text) for each image.Alt text is the description that browsers display when an image cannot be shown, and it is the only way for search engines to understand the content of the image.When editing content in the rich text editor of AnQiCMS, you can usually edit the Alt attribute of the image after inserting it.Combining the system-provided 'Keyword Library Management', we can select relevant keywords to write high-quality, descriptive Alt text. This not only enhances the visibility of the image in image search results but also improves the overall SEO performance of the website and enhances the accessibility of the website.
