  Hi there!

  The required size depends on the current theme and blocks setup so it needs to be adjusted individually. Generally, you can set your image sizes to be as big as they need to be, and no bigger than that.

  Take a look at an image on your site. Does it appear in high quality, but load slowly? If it’s 5000px wide, try uploading a smaller version that is 2500px wide and observe the result. If it’s still looking good, try going down to 2000px or 1800px wide until you find a balance where the image size is small while the image still looks good.

  We have an article on that: https://wordpress.com/support/media/image-optimization/

  I noticed that you are a book series writer. Have you considered selling them via the site?

  • The most basic selling option is available from the Personal plan – Payment button block
  • You could also use PayPal button block on the Premium plan
  • Finally, there is the Business plan and WooCommerce plugin, a full-scale store solution.

  Let me know if it sounds interesting. I am also curious to hear about your other goals.
