Hi,
I am creating a lot of posts on my Newspaper theme site (50 so far). And now my site load time is slowing rapidly. For each post I’ve added a featured image using the recommended size of 1068 x 713. I believe this is the problem.

How can I speed up my site? What minimum size image would you suggest is best for a featured image? Are there any other suggestions you could make to speed up site? Is there a way to avoid using featured images altogether? (without them the drop-down shows blank. Can I get it to show the headline there?)
To reduce image size, can I open up “edit editor” and scale down size of image or would I need to resize an image outside the website with an image editor then re-upload?
Thx
Hi,
The featured image can be bigger, for example the live theme demos use in some cases much bigger image sizes

This will however not have an impact, these original images will not be loaded in their full size on the website. Only thumbnails created from them will be shown

Of course images can be further optimized. If you do not set featured images the modules in block and grids will display a default placeholder thumb. Of course your hosting plan has be ready for increased content and traffic
