Scaled thumb-medium images

Oi oi. ??

I noticed this too, I use CSS width:100% on my images so the images scale down to screen size but I get an F in gtmetrix under Serve Scaled Images. Did you ever figure this out?

Here’s the problem I think @difflier

Responsive Images in WordPress 4.4

So what I did was put this in my functions.php file:

//Remove WordPress Responsive Images
function disable_srcset( $sources ) {
return false;}
add_filter( 'wp_calculate_image_srcset', 'disable_srcset' );

You can try that function first and see if it fixes your problem.

I also manually re-sized all my images to the largest size my theme uses, so the biggest images on my site are my thumbnails which are 200×200. Then I created a new thumbnail size in functions.php:

if ( function_exists( 'add_image_size' ) ) {
add_image_size( 'beatpost-thumb', 200, 200, false );
}

And called that size in my templates where thumbnails show:

<?php hu_the_post_thumbnail('beatpost-thumb'); ?>

Thanks for your reply.

The fact is that I don’t understand why these images are scaled down on desktop too. I would like to keep the site responsive as I get most of my traffic from mobile devices.

The 200×200 images you are using shouldn’t be a problem on mobile either, that’s a good solution. I try to use as large images as I can, but have decided to stay with the blog max width 800px.

Enabling these will destroy mobile view, right?

Sorry if it feels like I don’t understand, because this is true. I kinda gave up on this, at least for a while and now I don’t seem to remember anything about image functions… Currently fighting with multilingual site mumbojumbo, so this is all forgotten!
