AMP image size lower than recommended

Hi:

The newspaper theme seems to use 696px as the image width for all images on the /?amp pages.

However, Google has recommended that image width should be 1200px. I have uploaded all images to be 1200px, but the theme is forcing the use of 696px width re-sized image.

This is causing Google Search Console to show a “Image size smaller than recommended size” warning for all my AMP pages.

Any fix for this? Any way the AMP posts can use the full original image size to shut Search Console warning up? Pretty sure it affects the ranking.

Thanks.

Hi Vlad: thanks for that.

– Is there any timeline on the fix? I’m pretty sure everyone else has the same problem, and it’s affecting ranking and impressions on google.
– Is there any manual code fix in the meantime, where amp draws from the full image size (1200px) rather than 696px?

I too am being bombarded with this message via the Google Console. A fix is appreciated.

Thanks.

any update?

Hi – does Newspaper 11 fix this issue?

It’s really quite important for ranking most likely. We’ve spent a lot of time changing our image size to 1200px width in line with Google’s AMP requirements, but it’s no use if the theme is loading 696px width.

Thanks.
