Why is post style 3 using the biggest image size for featured images on mobile?

I’m using post style 3 and that featured image size is 1074 x 483, which is fine for desktop. But when I debug my site on mobile I see that the featured image size used on the posts is still the 1074 x 483 size. Shouldn’t the theme be using a smaller image size, since mobile screen aren’t bigger than 767px? I’ve regenerated all thumbnails and image crop on post settings is on. Is the mobile featured image supposed to be that big? The featured image on mobile could easily be one of the smaller sizes generated by the theme! Loading those big images on mobile has a negative impact on page speed and uses more bandwith over time!!

Hi,

The theme is responsive, designed different for mobiles and the content is the same for mobiles as it is for desktop screens so when using post template 3 the 1074px wide thumbnail is used which on mobile is set to fit to the whole width of the viewport therefore the image thumb is compressed on mobiles.
Unfortunately that’s how this works when using post template 3. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks
