Bloated images<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s crucial to keep in mind that responsive website makes use of a single markup for all<br \/>\ndevices. So to ensure that you are sending the right image to the right device, use following<br \/>\ntricks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Run images though ImageMagick for an optimal size.<\/li>\n<li>Maintain high depth even after reducing the image size by using Lossy Compression.<\/li>\n<li>Use multiple servers to render images.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\n2.

First get basic info like Name, Phone number, and Email address \u2014 you can ask for more information later. A good case in point is Expedia. Little did anyone knew that a small mistake, like placing a long form will cost them a whopping 12 million dollars. Don\u2019t make that mistake.
