Hey,

I think this may help others with speed issues, but could you advise us on best image setting both native in theme and also woocommerce in order to reduce the amount of resizes that wordpress site is holding.

For example…
My store has around 1100 products
Due to wordpress/woocommerce image requirements, my site holds 6 resizes for each image.

With all the products and site images; once resized, that give me an image library of over 20,000 images.

— Is there a way to standardise image sizes across both wordpress and woocommerce so that we only need say 3 resizes images?

From reading a lot of the support tickets, I think this is a common issue
(I also add it’s not an issue caused by 8theme! I am just hoping to lean on there expertise and coding of the theme its self)

Thanks
Phil

Hi kounterfit

Sorry for the intrusion. I solved it the following way.

I added the following to functions.php

/* Custom filter to remove image sizes thumbnails from WordPress */
function paulund_remove_default_image_sizes( $sizes) {
unset( $sizes[‘medium_large’]);
unset( $sizes[‘medium’]);
unset( $sizes[‘large’]);
unset( $sizes[‘shop_catalog_alt’]);
return $sizes;
}
add_filter(‘intermediate_image_sizes_advanced’, ‘paulund_remove_default_image_sizes’);

So I have more control over which thumbnails I want to use

Sorry again, I hope I have helped

Hello,

@kounterfit you can try the solution of @identidade.
Unfortunately, we did not dig deeper because we are theme authors and work with default WP and WC image functions. Changing the standard functions is individual customization and we don’t have the deal with that.

So, if you want to find the better solution you need to send the request to WP or WC support forum.

@identidade thank you for your suggestion.

Regards
