Hello,
I have a question about block’s image sizes. As you know that to make website speed faster, block’s image sizes on homepage should be smaller. For example, block 11 ‘s image size 218 x 150 (I wanna make it 200 x 100) block 3’s 324 x 160 ( I wanna make it 270 x 130), Big grids’ image sizes are also really large and i wanna shrink them too. Could you pls explain how to make block’s image sizes smaller on homepage? (I have no coding knowledge but i can try if it is possible to shrink images by coding easily)

Thanks !

Hi,

You can not make the image dimensions smaller because the modules on the blocks need a certain thumb size to display and this is the way the blocks were designed, these thumbs being generated from the featured images you set on your posts as explained here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/ Big grids are meant to use big thumbs as seen in the demo here – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/ – https://www.screencast.com/t/wKgYqeMEnnrq You need to optimize the images through software in order to compress the size in kilobytes if you want to make your site faster.

Thanks

Thank you for your replay. I am able to make image sizes smaller with some software. But my main purpose is that i want those images to take up less spaces on homepage. I am changing row and column settings for this purpose. however, when I do so, not only image area is shrinking, also excerpt area is getting smaller too. I want to keep the area balanced according to my view.

Thanks again…

Hi,

You can create you page using any of the big grids with different styles available – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/ and the same for the blocks – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ Please notice that the big grids and blocks use different thumb sizes, and you could choose the ones with smaller images if that is what you want. Here is more information about the theme thumbs and modules used on blocks – https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/

Thanks
