Bad images optimisation for loops and masonry blog - Pagespeed Insights
Hi everyone,
I've been suffering some bad pagespeed insights results because of images and I've looking for a while from where it comes from. Apparently, there is something wrong with the loops (last articles for instance) or with the masonry blog. You could check it here :

Images are loaded full size whereas they are displayed much tinier. This is a big problem because it has a big impact on the SEO. Could you help with this, maybe optimize it for a future version ?
Also, it would be useful to know which thumbnail are used for what, this way I could disable the useless ones and paid to optimise the one that matters.
Thanks !

this is how responsive works exactly. We are sorry but we can not load different sizes of images for mobile devices. All images sizes you can find under functions/theme-functions.php file where all add_image_size() functions are.
Thanks!
I'm sorry but I disagree. After looking at your code for a while, there is multiple solutions :
1/ First, easy one : the "last article loop thumnails size" is managed by the theme option in "blog, portfolio and shop" so setting a smaller size here (for exemple 340px) would do the job. Well, at least in my case, because I'm using masonry blog, as I said before, and therefore there is no conflict between the size needed (3 articles wide in each case).
3/ You could provide dynamic thumbnail size generation, as Theme X does. Of course, in case of modification it would implies to regenerate all of them but at least it would be perfectly SEO'ed.
I know that you probably have a lot of support requests, but providing good support shouldn't be neglected especially when you have such a good product. Closed answers as your previous one are really frustrating.
1) This can not be done because may broke people hundreds of current working websites after theme update.
2) This is also not possible because of what we wrote above. We can not not know many people change those sizes and where exactly. Such option will broke their existing sites as well.
3) We will consider this.
P.S. You are not the only one who bought this theme. We need to care existing customers who use this theme for their sites and this is the main reason why this can not be changed. For us it's not a problem at all to add such option but the problem would be with thousands of existing sites.
Thanks for understanding!
The second option (adding thumbnails size settings, maybe as an "advanced settings") for exemple could be done upgrade proof, you simply have to add the previous sizes as the default one.
Really, it's a big SEO issue, I hope you will take it seriously. I really like your pre-made layouts and I would love to use betheme for my futur customers, but it need to be SEO optimised. 90% on pagespeed insight shouldn't be on the homepage only.
