Lets say I have a featured image for a post that is 1080 by 720. Later that same image is used in things like small to medium sized thumbnails throughout my site, but the image is still 1080 by 720.
Does that affect performance in a negative way? I’ve compressed the images all down to about 30-80KB, so they are pretty optimized at those sizes already.
But just curious if there is a way to serve that same image in thumbnails, but instead of using the 1080 by 720 sized featured image, I can upload a 500 by 500 sized image to be used for the thumbnails instead, pretty much to further improve performance.
In web dev world it’s named responsive images. When the code pulls a different sized image based on the space it will fill or the size of the screen viewing the website.
Hi,
Yes, if you have more big images on your website, then yes, these can increase the page speed (loading of page), but if these are well optimize, then should be no problems, also our theme use thumbs for each modules, in this way will not be necessary to load every time the big image.
Thank you!
