    A properly coded theme will use set_post_thumbnail_size() and add_image_size() to define the image sizes used in the layout, and WordPress will create resized versions with those dimensions and therefore smaller file sizes. A good theme should not load full-sized featured images and rescale them.

    There is also an option in the Pro version to specify the maximum image dimensions to download to your server, which is mainly a way to conserve disk space since themes should already only be loading the necessary image size created by WordPress.
