  • #noise Are you referring to “quality” in Image options?
    I don’t know if I understand, but if you upload optimized images, then you’ll have optimized thumbnails…

    yes, I think in earlier versions you could set a Quality setting for Thumbnails and Images separately (Quality is the amount of JPEG Compression applied: lower quality (or more compression) = smaller files (tho not as nice).

    Thumbnails are created after you upload an image, so really the compression that is applied to them is not related to the size of image uploaded.

    It might not make a difference for a most sites, but if you have a site with 300 thumbnails on it, a 10 – 15% image size reduction per thumb can have a huge effect on page load and server strain.

    Probly set in the php in the plugin somewhere, but it’s a pretty sprawing plugin so finding it would take a bit.
