 * Hi Dears,
 * I want to optimize the speed of my blog and I saw in the “Settings/Media Settings”
   that there are definitions for images such as Thumbnails/Medium and Large. I 
   do not see the reason for these images… If I just place “zero” in these settings
   does it help to improve performance? Is there any kind of problem not to implement
   these settings?
 * Many thanks and warm regards,
 * Pedro

 * Hi Pedro,
 * You could try optimising the images before you upload them to your website by
   running them through this tool :

 * They also have a WordPress plugin available here :

 * Hope that helps!

 * Hi Ross,
    Many thanks for the tips. Good to compress the images and with the 
   images compressed we improve the speed. However I do not know what should be 
   the Settings in the “Media Settings” we have in our dashboard. These media settings
   define the dimensions for images, such as Thumbnails/Medium and Large. And I 
   do not know what is this for?? Do you know? All the best and warm regards, Pedro
