# Page Speed low – gallery images

* Hey – the images created by Envira are killing my site on Google page speed insights.
* The thumbnails created are 2-3 times the size of the images I am uploading. I
am using Kraken.io image compressor but this isn’t having an effect on the Envira
thumbnails and EWWW is no use as ‘exec function’ is disabled on the server.
* Settings are: Image size – set to default with 640×480 desktop and 320×240 mobile.
* I am working on X theme from Themeco which has Envira included… does that mean
I get forum support?
* Any tips on compressing these images… never come across this previously
* I mentioned it previously here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/envira-produces-bigger-thumbnails-then-original-files/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/envira-produces-bigger-thumbnails-then-original-files/)

You can try setting all JavaScript to defer by adding the following to your theme's functions.php file
```
* //* Defer parsing of JavaScripts
function defer_parsing_of_js ( $url ) { if (
FALSE === strpos( $url, ‘.js’ ) ) return $url; if ( strpos( $url, ‘jquery.js’))
return $url; return “$url’ defer “; } add_filter( ‘clean_url’, ‘defer_parsing_of_js’,
11, 1 );`
* Please note that defering all JavaScript may interfere with some plugins, and
you’ll want to test thoroughly your site’s front-end appearance after including.
If it breaks a plugin just remove from your functions.php file.
* You can remove query strings from JS and CSS files by adding the following to
your theme’s functions.php file: [https://gist.github.com/ericakfranz/a7f172fd63aaf01ede4c](https://gist.github.com/ericakfranz/a7f172fd63aaf01ede4c)
or you can use a free plugin for this now: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-query-strings-from-static-resources/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-query-strings-from-static-resources/)
* Minifying the CSS (and the HTML) for the site is recommended. Plugins like BWP
Minify or Autoptimize are an easy way to implement this. If you choose to enable
JavaScript minify, be sure to thoroughly check the functionality of your site
as this can break JavaScript dependent plugins. If this breaks a plugin you can
simply disable the JavaScript minification.

* Hi – I have all the GZip and minification already… its definitely the image sizes…
I’ve got them down though by changing Settings are:
* Image size – set to default with 300×300 desktop and removing mobile altogether.
* Is there an option to remove Retina images… these are the ones killing it 🙁

* Hi [@tye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tye/) 🙂
* Unfortunately no, there is no option to disable the retina images, but I’ll certainly
bring this up to the developer to see if there is anything we could possibly
due in a future update.
