SEO and photo question

  • Hello! My site was getting slow so I wanted to stop uploading photos to wordpress and start using HTMLs instead. Now I am wondering if it affects my SEO? If I write a post about “Fiji” with lots of HTML photos, not really attached to my blog, but not clickable to another, and someone google images fiji, will mine show up? or will they show up but be clickable to that blog they originate from? The posts i have with my own photos, are all in google image seaches, im wondering if these will be too, since they ARE on my blog, just not uploaded

    You mean the dashboard is becoming slow because of photos?

    You have a couple of thousand photos on one page?

    Is that a serious question?

    What you’re asking doesn’t seem to make sense, and yes it is a serious question. People do put thousands of photos on one page with continuous ajax requests.

    I dont know how to explain it better. No, I only have thousands of photos on the whole blog, not one post.. I am thinking it is still slowing down load time though. Anyways, thats not the question, the question is about the SEO of the photos.. If they will show up in image searches connected to my blog or their source

    Images are set as HTML whether you upload them through WordPress or externally, they will show up the same as they did before.

    well if i upload them onto my wordpress firs then onto a post, the src= my own domain. if I get the photo HTML from another site the src= their domain. Still the same?

    I think you’re better asking this query on Google’s forums: https://groups.google.com/forum/

    Just to clarify, it would help my site speed if I stop uploading so many big pictures right?

    You can upload as many images in the dashboard as you want and it wouldn’t necessarily affect the website as other people see it. Unless those images were included on pages.

    A large image uploaded through WordPress or through a CDN will still have a longer load time.
