In order to be sure not to create a clutter of images in Drupal and so to keep it performant, we would like to highlight a few rules.

  1. Use the right format
    1. Webp for regular images
    2. SVG for logos
  2. Use the naming convention for the visuals you upload

The naming convention of the visuals has the following structure:

Description of the image in English_withd imagexheight image_position on the page

For example:

• Formula1_960x540

• People_laughing_during_meeting_1200x800

-> The exception is when visuals are used exclusively for a certain secotion on a certain page such as the heros for the homepage.

  1. If the upload of your image is blocked, please check why and don't just add a 0 or a 1 at the end of the name to force it.
  2. If you have upladed an image and you don't use it, please delete it, it will save space in Drupal en enhance its speed.
