    Hey guys, just wondered if you could help me with a problem of resized images.
    Our Website is very slow, so we looked for a complete check up with gt metrix
    and found an issue with images. The problem is, that.the images being
    announced are not used consciously on our webpage in this format.
    How can I find out, where to resize this image to speed up performance ?
    Or can I simply delete them alternatively? I know Enfold creates them
    for responiveness but have no specific clue, how that works in programming.
    Thanks for helping out.

    Hi!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    I checked the page but it’s broken. Is this a blog page? If this is the blog page, you can set the Blog Layout > Blog Layout panel to “use the advance layout builder. After that, edit the actual blog page and insert the blog posts element where you can set the “Preview Image Size” settings.

    The site is also using an old version of the theme, 3.6.1. Please upgrade to version 3.8.3. and WP to version 4.7.1

    Regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael, thanks for your response. What do you mean by Broken? Sounds somehow incomplete :1). No, it’s not used as a blog page. Is there a correlation why gtmetrix find not directly used pics which are minimized by css?

    I can run the updates for sure.

    Hi Basilis,

    we updated theme to 3.8.4 and WordPress to 4.7.2.
    So GTMetrix still displays a lot of serve scaled images in 450×450 which are obviously resized to 175×175
    but not used in our page.
    I understand that the program uses this for responsiveness but I don’t get this when images like the following list isn’t used directly on the page. Can you help?

    Hi!

    Can you install a plugin like WPSmush and run the images through there?
    That will solve your issue and as it is an optimisation task, or speed, it is better to hire someone who will be able to help you
    with the need, if you can not go through all the steps alone.

    Cheers!

    Hi Basilis,
    I already installed it and did go through all the steps from Ismael.
    What is this information of gtmetrix point to.
    I am familiar with html, css and are online-publisher for years.
    If you could direct me first I think I can fix that.

    Hey Team,
    so can you pls lilft my thoughts up to the next step.
    What I still see is that gtmetrix point to images that are not used in the page consciously.
    For example the image below – you O N L Y can see on the page attached but NOT in the size mentioned
    by gtmetrix.
    So I assume ENFOLD takes one of the pictures created (for e.g. 450×450 to fit in the container used in this page, right?
    The picture uploaded originally is 1500×1000 and the four additional previews of the image are nearly that size (range from 1500×922 to 1500×1026). So does Enfold use smaller created images for example in the gallery, especially for the preview which are squared, by 450×450 and scale them down by css to 175x175px?
    What I need to find out is the logic behind and where the image is used gtmetrix refer to. WP Smush already optimized 19 different sizes per image but not the origin as it is above 1MB.
    Can you help?
    Thanks for lending a hand. You are awesome.

    Hi,

    Wordpress is cropping images by default when uploading them and if you want to control this behavior you can use a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-image-sizes
    I hope this will help :).

    Best regards,
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    yes I know that. Can you lend a hand how this works in your gallery?
    So does wordpress or your theme chose a smaller cropped images
    when I use a picture bigger than your enfold gallery container?
    And does wordpress the resizing inside of this container or
    does enfold programing (css or html) is responsible for having
    that phenomenon?
    Thanks
    Stephan

    Hi,

    as already said WordPress is cropping the images automatically when uploading. However, you can also choose to manually change image sizes via the Enfold settings: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-image-sizes/#post-336176

    Best regards,
    Andy
