Inline CSS style is a huge no-no for Google and has a negative impact on site performance, but it can be fixed. In this article we will explore that, and how to switch to using external CSS.

What Exactly Are Inline CSS Styles?

Inline CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) Styles are codes within the HTML of a particular image. Usually coded as a <style> element in the <head> section. And because the HTML is used for adding images, it automatically get embedded within a particular blog or website. But the key is that these styles does not get recognized everywhere on your blog. Basically it's just about knowing what kind of images to use in which position on your blog. Let's take a closer look, shall we?

My research showed that when you use designed images of which there are millions of high-definition royalty free images from the internet to download at no cost, you stand at higher risk. Usually designed images like logos will be more likely to have these codes present. Any designed image that is not natural, or as a result of using design software.

Where Are These Styles Less Likely To Be Present?

Images of a photographic nature, preferably taken with a professional camera is a good place to start. But not all of us are aspiring or professional photographers right? Which is why I love Google so much, it is indeed your friend.

If you need images, simply type into your browser "Royalty Free Images" and study each site individually and properly up to 3 result pages deep. You will find millions of images to your disposal. Also remember to always download images larger than 1000 x 800 pixels, it makes for breath-taking definition when resized.

Where Not To Use Images with Inline CSS Styles.

Your blog have several different positions to upload images to, where you should avoid your Header and Background Images to be of a designed nature. When you use these types of images in these positions the inline CSS Styles will get recognized and recorded. For your header and Background images I strongly advise using natural pictures.

Where is it Safe to Use Images with Inline CSS Styles?

When you write your blog post, you should have an option for "Set Featured Image" which should be at the bottom right inside your post editing window. This is where these styles will not be recognized, and you can pretty much use any image without your blog being influenced.

Conclusion

In order to remove all Inline CSS Styles from your blog, if the search result indicate so the best way is to try different images. Inline CSS Styles can do quite a bit of damage to your site Google rating, and ultimately the site Google Rating Speed. The tool mentioned will reveal all areas on your site that need a little fine tuning, and you just need to work with that tool.
