Not sure if my chain is too tight

I was hearing some clicks while riding my SS today and wondered where they could be coming from. Pedaling itself didn't feel weird, but the click kept on worrying me.

I've read conflicting stories about how tight a chain should be (including some threads here on the forum - yes, i did search). Some say it should be as tight as possible, other say it should have a small sag.

So, which one is it? I'm thinking more in terms of extending the longevity of my components. My chain is currently really tight and does not sag at all. Should it be more loose?




Thanks.
