High-resolution images, while visually appealing, can significantly impact website performance by increasing page load times. Slower loading pages often lead to higher bounce rates as visitors may leave the site before it fully loads. This reduction in user engagement negatively affects conversion rates, as fewer visitors stay long enough to complete actions such as making appointments or purchases. To mitigate this, website owners should optimize image sizes and resolutions to enhance load times, thereby improving user experience, reducing bounce rates, and potentially increasing conversion rates.
