Prevent duplicate images

    Hi,

    I recently moved my site to a different server. I realized at that time that the site is exponentially large and in large part because of the way the theme duplicates every image that is uploaded.

    Just wondering if there is a way to prevent this? I’m not sure I understand why there are so many size variations for each image. 8+ for every image uploaded has made the site enormous. Can’t they just scale per percentages dynamically for mobility?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Allowing the browser to scale them would result in large files, long processing time and slow loading pages. You can manually remove the calls to add_image-size from functions.php.

    Thanks Daniel,

    I guess it’s a judgement call. I don’t have an issue with it except for the looming expense of file limits.
