Should I remove/disable other thumbnails?

  • Hello,
    My website already creates loads of thumbnails of various sizes (theme, woocommerce, wordpress itself, sliders… Can I use this plugin to get rid of all of those?
    To my understanding, this plugin also creates it’s own, but for predefined screen sizes, right?
    Thank you for help!
    With kind regards,
    DM

    Hello,

    The Adaptive Images plugin does not mess with your original images or the thumbnails that WordPress creates at all. It has its own cache and creates its own thumbnails. But it only creates them when they are requested and if they are requested at all. Also, you may flush this cache from the plugin settings page. And if you actually have big images then the size of the cache will probably only be a small fraction of the total size of the original images anyway.

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers,
    Takis

    Thank you! Question: so, when using this plugin, should I also remove and disable creation of thumbnails by theme / wp / other plugins?

    No, you should not do that because it might break the functionality of the theme or plugin that created them. It is the idea of separation of concerns.
