Boost productivity and SEO with Photoshop droplets

25 Jan

Photoshop droplets speed up repetitive graphic tasks

Using Photoshop Droplets in your Squarespace production flow can really speed things up, especially if you have big batches of images to optimise.

What are Photoshop Droplets? A Photoshop droplet is an icon that sits on your desktop. Drag some images onto it and it will automatically resize and compress images to optimise them for your Squarespace website. You set it up once, and then you can just drag your pictures onto this button, and it does all the work for you.

If you're managing a Squarespace site, using tools like Photoshop droplets can save you a lot of time. Instead of spending hours adjusting images one by one, you can get them all done quickly and get back to other important tasks.

FAQs

Q: Why is image optimisation crucial for SEO?

A: Image optimisation improves page load times, a key factor considered by search engines like Google when ranking pages in SERPs. Faster loading pages tend to rank higher, enhancing visibility and traffic. When you make your images smaller in file size (without losing quality), your website pages load faster. Google likes fast loading pages and so do your visitors. Image optimisation has the double benefit of satisfying your visitors and helping your site rank better in search results.

Q: How does image optimisation impact productivity?

A: Optimising images through batch processing and automation saves significant time, streamlining the workflow and freeing up resources for more creative or strategic endeavours.

Q: What does 'Squarespace production flow' mean?

A: It refers to the series of tasks and processes involved in managing and updating a Squarespace website efficiently, including content creation, image optimisation, and site maintenance.

Q: Can Photoshop Droplets handle tasks beyond resizing?

A: Yes, Photoshop's automation tools are versatile, capable of performing a wide array of image editing tasks, making them invaluable in enhancing both the aesthetic quality of your site and its SEO through faster load times.
