Image group increasing site size

    2 years ago

    The Lightspeed cache plugin creates different dimensions of image groups for a single image. That is significantly increased my site size (single jpeg size 200kb – optimized webp image group size 3Mb).

    Is there any way to use the single image without creating different resolutions, or reducing the image group size. Removing these different image versions will reduce the loading speed?

    It will be a great help if someone gives me a solution.

    What makes you think that an image group increases in size?

    Hi,

    these groups are NOT created by LSCWP

    it just scans/reads/gathers what you have on your site

    The uploading jpeg size is 200kb. When it is optimized to a webp image the group size 3Mb.

    it looks like you have some misunderstanding and mis-conception how wordpress image works

    let’s say when you upload an image , 200 KB , res 1000 x 1000

    at the moment you upload it , your wp will create some resized thumbnails , for how many variety , it depends on your system and plugin/theme , but let’s imagine there are 4 of them , small 100 x 100 , middle 300 x 300 , large 800 x 800 and custom size for 500 x 500

    so you upload 1 image, but WP will create 4 more of them , so you will have total 5 images

    like 

    something.jpg  ->  200 KB
something-100x100.jpg ->  20 KB
something-300x300.jpg  -> 70KB
something-500x500.jpg  ->  100KB
something-800x800.jpg  --> 160 KB

    so you uploaded a 200 KB image , but WP will take 200 + 20 + 70 + 100 + 160 = 550 KB disk space , this is default WP doing , not related/caused by LSCWP

    and if you do image optimization , as backup and webp will be created , it will be something like 

    something.jpg  ->  150 KB   optimized original
something.jpg.webp -> 120 KB  webp version
something.bk.jpg -> 200 KB  original backup
something-100x100.jpg ->  15 KB optimized original
something-100x100.jpg.webp ->  10KB webp version
something-100x100.bk.jpg -> 20KB backup
something-300x300.jpg  -> 50KB optimized original
something-300x300.jpg.webp -> 40KB webp version
something-300x300.bk.jpg ->  70KB backup
something-500x500.jpg  ->  80KB  optimized original
something-500x500.jpb.webp ->  60KB  webo version
something-500x500.bk.jpg -> 100KB backup
something-800x800.jpg  --> 120 KB optimized original
something-800x800.jpg.webp --> 100 KB webp version
something-800x800.bk.jpg --> 160KB backup

    total of 1295 KB space

    I have regenerate thumbnail plugin. Do you mean that the lightspeed cache plugin just reads its data and optimizes the images?

    please check my previous reply

    if you have 5 thumbnails , LSCWP takes that

    if you have 10 thumbnails , LSCWP also takes that

    it just scan the database to get what you have , but it will NOT create what you don’t have.
