Bulk Image Size Reduction

  • Unknown's avatar

    My site has started to open really slowly particularly on tablets 7 iPads i.e. over wifi connections.

    I have started to systematically go through the ‘full size’ images in my posts and reduce them to ‘large’. However this is going to take forever.

    Is there a way that I can select all images that are set to ‘full size’ and bulk change them to ‘large’? I couldn’t see this option in the media manager.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there!

    That is an excellent idea — optimizing your images should help with load speed quite a bit. For the future, you may consider optimizing your image size before you even upload it.

    Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to bulk edit the image sizes.

    I highly suggest you adjust the amount of posts you display on the front page, as well. That appears to be slowing down the load time of your home page quite a bit.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!

    Actually that is a good point about limiting the points on the front page as I have set the number of posts to just 5 many times before but it never works. Is this a know problem and/or is their a CSS fix – I don’t really want to change my theme – and if you could send me the CSS code. Thanks

    Sorry that should have said ‘limiting posts’ :-)

    Hi there!

    The problem is that you’ve made all your posts sticky. This forces them to appear on the front page. If you “unstick” them, only the most recent 5 posts should display.

    You can “unstick” your posts in the editor:

    Simply deselect the “Stick this post to the front page” option.

    That should do the trick! Cheers!
