The image block and image size

  • I have several questions about my images. I’ll describe one image and put only three of my many questions here.

    I have an image with a few words of text on a coloured background, see:
    https://www.feedbackreigns.net/solutions/australia-a-renewable-energy-superpower/

    The image is 573 X 300 pixels.
    I compressed it to about 8 KB.

    The w:h = 1.91 which seems suitable for Facebook.

    I have kept the text in the middle third of the image so when I share the page on Twitter the truncation at left and right does not cut off any text.

    I’m not recommending this. It just seems to work for me.

    When I show these images using an image block, by default it suggests showing the “thumbnail”. As my image is already small, I have been changing this to “full size”.
    **** Does this show the 573×300 pixel image?

    Say I used “thumbnail.
    **** Would the page take longer to load as the image needs to be shrunk.

    Say I use the resize feature of the image block to shrink the image.
    **** Does this resize slow my page loading.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    ans. an image size is saved in library so it will load resized image.

    you can define medium, large and small size in your media library by going

    I take it that:
    . resizing or using “thumbnail” or “full size” will not slow the page as the required size image is created and stored available for use with no extra computing required when a view opens the page, and
    . “full size” will show the full size of the image that I loaded, the 573×300 pixel
    Thanks
