Bookmarkable Series: Don't lose your audience! Learn how you can optimize your GIF files so your blog post loads faster for your viewers. Includes a short tutorial video!
Who doesn’t love a good GIF! They add personality to your posts. There are times that I add multiple GIFs to a single post. What I didn’t realize is that some GIF are very large in size. They can slow the load time of your page. With slow load time, you lose viewers, which means a loss of upvotes, follows, resteems and comments. So, take a couple extra steps to ensure you are saving your audience time and bandwidth!
@enchantedspirit said in the recent @unmentionable post… Curation with Style: The Best of the Unmentionables Ep 2
…do yourself and your audience a favor. Don't waste their time making them wait on what you want to say and show them. Once spent, time is a resource you can never reclaim. Nobody has scads to spare. Be a considerate blogger ... and a good Steemit citizen.

I love optimized GIFs! Many thanks for this post,
Cheers, Fitz
That's awesome! What percentage were you able to reduce? Looks
took about 50% off, beyond that, the gifs quality dropped too much
That's pretty good! 😀
An incredibly useful post - I will be bookmarking this for future use, as load time is very important to me, especially being a web design geek haha.
Thank you! Resteeming
Thanks for the resteem! Tech nerds unite!
This is great! I need to start using these - I am very very slowly moving up the Steemit learning curve and info like this is really useful, thanks!
You're welcome! I hope it's clear enough. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for the encouragment.
Cool - I will start piling up the questions!!
Cheers
That's handy, I've been avoiding gifs for a while because of load times!
Wow! What a great comment! I'm going to highlight it in my post 😀
good tip! I use ezgif on all my gifs... not just to compress them, but also to create them from still shots!
And I love that site! You really can do tons with it. And, thanks for the tipu in my wallet 😋 it was fun to see. Are you testing it out? I think I may look into it.
yeah, i've been using it for a while now to stash my SBD, it pays some dividends, too!
tbh sending you that tip was by accident ;) but still, ezgif is great and i'd love to see more great gifs without unneeded pageload on steemit, so a well deserved accident it was!
Awww! You're awesome!
