Optimizing graphics for the web is important. Leaving images uncompressed and in the wrong format can drastically slow down web page load times. The benefits of optimization include:

• Less storage space on the server
• Less bandwidth is needed to process the file
• Faster file and page loads correlate to a positive visitor experience

Images MUST BE UPLOADED into the Cascade system (_files > images folder) before linking to them or inserting them into content areas.
