    If you want the CSS to control all pages, yes, you'd put it into its own file with CSS as the file extension. You'd then link the CSS file to your pages (in the coding). If you want it on one page, or just certain styling, you'd put the CSS in the coding.

    Make a folder called images. Put all images used on your website (for the page itself) into that folder. But let's say you have pages about Canada and images specific to that country. You could make a separate folder called images-ca . Helps to be organized.

    It is because images take up lots of space because they have to save every single pixel as a 0 or 1, which is a lot. You can use a file compressor like Squoosh to make them load quicker.
