Increasing the range of responsive image sizes made available in a srcset
-
PageSpeed is telling me (https://gtmetrix.com/reports/theemeraldemporium.co/xOPsfXpn) that I can acheive a 636KB saving by serving scaled images, viz:
The following images are resized in HTML or CSS. Serving scaled images could save 636.6KiB (71% reduction).
https://i0.wp.com/theemeraldemporium.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/002981.jpg?resize=450%2C450 is resized in HTML or CSS from 450×450 to 222×222. Serving a scaled image could save 33.2KiB (75% reduction).

.These images seem to be coming from product pages generated by WooCommerce (e.g. https://theemeraldemporium.co/product-category/emeralds/single/) which includes code such as:
<img width="224" height="224" src="https://i2.wp.com/theemeraldemporium.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2988-IMG_8076.jpg?zoom=1.5&resize=450%2C450" class="attachment-shop_catalog size-shop_catalog wp-post-image" alt="2988 IMG_8076" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/theemeraldemporium.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2988-IMG_8076.jpg?resize=80%2C80 80w, https://i2.wp.com/theemeraldemporium.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2988-IMG_8076.jpg?resize=36%2C36 36w, https://i2.wp.com/theemeraldemporium.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2988-IMG_8076.jpg?resize=180%2C180 180w, https://i2.wp.com/theemeraldemporium.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2988-IMG_8076.jpg?resize=120%2C120 120w, https://i2.wp.com/theemeraldemporium.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2988-IMG_8076.jpg?resize=450%2C450 450w, https://i2.wp.com/theemeraldemporium.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2988-IMG_8076.jpg?zoom=2&resize=450%2C450 900w, https://i2.wp.com/theemeraldemporium.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2988-IMG_8076.jpg?zoom=3&resize=450%2C450 1350w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" src-orig="https://i2.wp.com/theemeraldemporium.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2988-IMG_8076.jpg?resize=450%2C450" scale="1.5">
I can see that the WooCommerce catalog size default is set to 450×450, but in the srcset there seem to be other options available as well.
I suppose I /could/ change the WooCommerce catalog size to, say, 250×250, but is seems rather limiting for anyone with a bigger screen. Is there instead a better way of telling WordPress (WooCommerce?) to generate some other sizes and include those in the srcset?
