Hello,

I have website with only 4 long posts with dozens of images (only 100Kb per image). But on server my website weighs more than 500 MB. When I will have 20 text posts my website size will be more than 3GB. I dont want this….

I started to analize this fact and found that for each image Newspaper theme making 22 additional files of previews for each file. Sample: https://ibb.co/g3yqSz9

How I can fix it or change and make website smaller in size? Which thumbnails dont needed at all?

Hi,

Only you could decide which thumbnails to disable. The theme will create I believe a total of 19 thumbnail sizes and WordPress will generate 3 sizes. The theme will use the thumbnails in blocks, grids and other modules

For each thumbnail size it will be specified where it is used, for example

So depending on what elements you do not use, disable the thumbnail sizes accordingly. After you disable sizes, from then on they will not be generated anymore. Previously created thumbnails will remain, unless maybe you use the force regenerate plugin

Thanks

Hi,

The retina thumbnails when activated will be served on retina displays only

If you want to activate retina the theme will create two thumbnails for each size, basically double the amount of thumbnails.
After activating retina thumbs you will have to regenerate with this plugin
