Managing Media Files

Keeping Your Media Organised

Every image, video, or document you upload to WordPress is stored in the Media Library, and keeping it organised saves time as your site grows.

Uploading and Organising Media

• Upload files directly while editing a post or page, or in bulk via Media > Add New.
• Use clear, descriptive file names before uploading, since WordPress uses the file name as part of the image URL.
• Add alt text to every image for accessibility and to help search engines understand the image's content.

Optimising Media for Performance

Compress images before uploading using tools or plugins, since large files slow down page load speed.

Use appropriate image dimensions instead of uploading oversized files and scaling them down in the editor.

With your media organised, the final piece is tying everything together through clear navigation menus and flexible Gutenberg layouts.
