Tiled Galleries using full size images instead of "thumb" "medium" or "larg

  • Hi,

    I was wondering if this is intended behavior. When I use tiled galleries and select either “thumbnail”, “medium” or “large” image size, I see in the network inspector of chrome that wordpress uses the proper files according to image sizes for display. See: preview (you can see the images on the left side. on the right side you can see the network inspector, showing the file names, which have a suffix in the file name; e.g. ‘-300×225’)

    When I save the article and take a look at the article, it uses the full sized images and scales them down only using the height and width tags. See: article (in the network inspector, you can see that full size images are used. Take a look at the image size column.)

    This results in users always downloading all full sized images for each article on a page, which is in my case a couple of articles per page, resulting in about 20 MB of transferred data per page view and thus high loading time.

    Jetpack’s Tiled Galleries use the Photon module to cache and serve resized and optimized versions of each image, and create the tiled effect.

    However, if you use Jetpack’s Development mode or work locally, Photon won’t work as your site can’t communicate with WordPress.com to send the images. In such cases, tiled galleries will indeed use the full version of the image. As soon as your site is live and connected to WordPress.com, however, that shouldn’t be a problem anymore.

    If you continue to experience issues anyway, could you try to deactivate all other plugins, one at a time, and let me know if you find a conflicting plugin?

    Thanks!
