Thumbnails size

    Hello,

    I’ve noticed that the thumbnails load the full size images instead of smaller versions. Is this the normal behavior of the theme, and is there a way to make them use optimized thumbnail sizes instead?

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us. WordPress automatically supports responsive images by adding srcset and sizes attributes to images. This means that even if the full-size image is included in the markup, WordPress will serve the most appropriate image size depending on the visitor’s screen and device. For example, smaller devices will load a smaller version of the image, which helps save bandwidth and improves loading speed.

    If you’d like to further optimize image sizes, you can use image optimization plugins that help reduce file sizes while maintaining good image quality.

    If you have any other questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact us at https://ascendoor.com/contact/. We’ll be happy to help!

    Regards,

    Hello,

    I understand how srcset and sizes work in WordPress, but in this case the theme markup always outputs the full-size image, and no smaller generated sizes are actually used. On your demo this isn’t very noticeable because the original images are around 800px wide, but with larger uploads the issue becomes clear — thumbnails are loading the original full-size images instead of resized versions.

    Kind Regards!

    Hello,

    Our theme is designed to be highly flexible with multiple widget areas, and each widget area can have different dimensions depending on the layout. Because the same widget can be used in several areas with different sizes, we don’t enforce a fixed thumbnail size in the theme. If we were to set a single fixed image size, it would only work well for one widget area but not for others, which could lead to layout or quality issues.

    Thank you and Best regards!
