Auto Image Resizing in WP / Image Weight Change

    We optimize images before uploading into the media gallery on our WordPress site. It seems that the images are getting resized and at a heavier weight after upload. There is one image currently on my site that was uploaded and shows in the media gallery at 50kb however on the homepage it is 390kb.

    I am curious how this happens? And more importantly, how to prevent it from happening?

    We are working to lighten our pages and improve our speed. Please help.

    Howdy –

    Please let me know which site you’re working on so I can take a better look.

    Hi. The site is amavida.com.

    The image I described is the current banner image on the homepage.

    Thanks. I can see the site doesn’t use our managed hosting environment from WordPress.com. It’s set up on the other version of WordPress which is the open source software. Help with that version of WordPress comes form the community at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    The site is hosted by Velvet Server from what I can see. You can also reach out to them because often times hosting providers throttle site speed based on size and visits.

    I am having a very hard time with this. Originally I tried to submit a ticket for support to that forum, but was linked here to do it. If you have any insight on how to submit to the open source support forum then I will greatly appreciate!

    Could you send me a link to that forum post that you made on .org. I want to see what the volunteer said. Thanks.

    We will do our best to get you in the right direction for proper help.
