Hi. I’m struggling to understand the whole AMP and image-size thing. Google requires an image to be at least 1200px wide, at least 800.000px when multiplying height and width, and it has to be in a 16:9, 4:3 or 1:1 aspect ratio?
Witch aspect ratio out of these alternatives is better for the newspaper theme? I’ve been using 1,5/1 (1080×810) as I think it looks good. What image resolution or aspect ratio do you recommend that will both look good with the newspaper theme, and meed the google amp requirements?
There is a good chance I’m over-thinking this. But I just want to make sure I resize my images optimally before posting them in my articles.
Hi,
Please notice that’s not a problem which comes from our theme, sorry! Please keep in mind that AMP is a built-in plugin which was optimized and integrate into our theme according to the official requirements so far. It would be preferable that you use large images on your site to get the best results. More recently, it seems that Google has put these warnings for the images which are less than 1200 pixels wide (likewise, the height of portrait images should be at least 1200 pixels). The best solution, in this case, would be to manually replace your old image with another one which has minimum 1200px wide, sorry! For more information about this case, you can check the following topic here -> https://tehnoblog.org/how-to-fix-google-search-console-amp-image-size-smaller-than-recommended-in-wordpress/ because this aspect has also been discussed here.
Thanks for your understanding!
