Hi Folks!
A test of my site https://www.mankatolife.com on gtmetrix.com shows that the homepage Latest Articles block as well as the Instagram footer block are serving full-sized images, rather than smaller thumbnails.
I’ve used the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin since this seems to be the most common answer but the images are still being served full-sized.
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Hello biglipper,
I have inspected your website but I do not see any problems with your images. All of these seems to work as expected, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/zeCgEZ3ziAfO Provide some useful screenshots to display the error so I can identify them. Remove all of your caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
The issue was that the full-sized images were being loaded and resized on the page rather than that they were displaying full-sized. My fault – poor communication.
*The images on Latest Articles was my also fault. I had permission issues on my server and Newspaper was serving the full-sized images because it couldn’t reach the thumbnails.
*The instagram issue is real, however. Newspaper is loading (but not displaying) a 640×640 pixel image and displaying it as 171×171 pixels.
The attached screenshot is from GT Metrics.
Can this be fixed?
Hello biglipper,
Please notice that the images which come from Instagram can’t be controlled by our theme. All of these are delivered to the natural dimensions of the Instagram and the theme only resize them. Regarding your images from Latest Articles section, it seems to work as expected because the thumbs are there and work properly. If you want to reduce the image size, you should consult our useful guide from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ and check the optimize images section because there you will know how you can do this with your images.
Thanks for your understanding!
