When I add the "News & Blog" element, the page is much longer to load because of the size of articles images. However those images are not so heavy (120Ko, 96Ko, 32 Ko). but the Google tool returns that the images created and used by the theme are much heavier than the original image (233Ko, 211).
The GEM Theme creates 3 image for each post main image. And are heavy. The images created by The GEM end like this :

Hello,
I use this Google tool to check the speed of my website.
When I add the "News & Blog" element, the page is much longer to load because of the size of articles images. However those images are not so heavy (120Ko, 96Ko, 32 Ko). but the Google tool returns that the images created and used by the theme are much heavier than the original image (233Ko, 211).
The GEM Theme creates 3 image for each post main image. And are heavy. The images created by The GEM end like this :
-thegem-blog-slider-halfwidth.jpg
-thegem-blog-compact.jpg
-256x256.jpg
I need to find a way to reduce the size of theses images. Is'nt their a way to always use the same image for different format ?
Thanks for your help
Nicolas
HI!
You can control size of the generated thumbnails in the functions.php line 48
add_filter('jpeg_quality', create_function('', 'return 100;'));Also we recommend to use:
W3-total cache plugin, enable page cash browser cache, minifire of css and js.
https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/
For optimizing images we recommend to use next services:
tinypng.com
jpegmini.com

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for your answer. How can i edit the function.php ? Is there an editor in wordpress ? or should I use ftp ?
You can edit it via Appearance > Editor. But I don't recommend you do it better edit it via FTP.

So the modification will be lost if when i update the them ? I'm trying to open the child function.php file, but it's empty ...
My host, WP ENGINE do not allow to install the w3 total cache plugin. They suggest me to use this on : https://wp-rocket.me/
What do you think ?
Thanks
HI!
