Hello! Couldn’t understand why I have so quickly gets cluttered with the memory of the site. Now I saw that one of the pictures I have 20 thumbnails and it is a feature of your theme.
How to reduce this number? I have in the settings of WordPress have removed the creation of medium and large size, leaving only the thumbnail is 150 by 150

Hello,

For every photo you upload, the theme will create the necessary thumbnails so the image can be used in the different theme modules and blocks. This number will be equivalent with the number of thumbnails you have active in the thee panel: https://www.screencast.com/t/SRJBCc3QxN
For each thumb activated in this section the theme will create a thumbnail for the image you uplaoded. So if you have 20 options turned on, the theme will generate 20 thumbs for each image you upload
If you want to reduce this number you will have to stop using lots of different blocks and grids and disable all the unused thumbnails from the theme panel. This way the theme will not generate any extra thumbs that will not be used on your site.

Thank you!

OK, then you can suggest a plugin that would be suitable to reduce the weight of images. Previously I reduce them before uploading, but still it seems to me that this is not enough.
From the topic in your I just love it! Every day find something new in it, it remains only to solve problems with download speed.

You can try it out. The fact that we did not test it does not mean it will not work. It means we have not tried it.
There is an alternative however. Please read this guide:
