In modern web designs, designers create different sizes of images on the web pages for attractive layout. If a web page is built using wordpress, a developer has to register every image size in theme to make sure, if client uploads an image of different size, it does not break the layout.
With a new WordPress installation, by default it creates three sizes e.g. thumbnail (150 x 150), medium (300×300), large (1024×1024) which means whenever a new image will be uploaded, WordPress will keep at least four copies of images on the server, one original image and 3 cropped image copies based on image sizes.
When developer/designer needs different size of image, they will register more image sizes e.g. hero, product thumbnail, product large image, team member image etc depending on design of the page.
Now lets say we have 3 default and 3 custom image sizes defined in theme, and now whenever a new image will be uploaded, WordPress will create 6 image copies and 1 original image even we need to use only 1 for a specific area on the website, remaining copies will remain on the server and will occupy space. Imagine when we have lots of posts, pages having different images, how many unnecessary images WordPress creates on the server which are useless and just eat server space. In case of Woo-Commerce website if you need to upload a new slider image for home page or a hero image for about page, it will create a lots of copies including different sizes of products image sizes which woo-commerce registers itself.
Ultimately website speed gets effected and server space as well.
To solve this issue, we built a plugin WP Image Sizes this plugin allows user to decide which image sizes should be created for every image being uploaded through WordPress.
After installing WP Image Sizes, it will create a setting page from where user can assign image sizes to each CPT. e.g. user can assign one size for hero/slider CPT, one size for team member, testimonials. After assigning image sizes to each CPT when user will upload a new image, WP Image Sizes will only allow WordPress to create copies of image sizes which were assigned to the CPT.
In case user tries to upload an image from a Media, it will show options in media uploader to select which image size user wants and WP Image Sizes will only create that image size.
WP Image Sizes plugin saves a lot of space on the server and plays a role to make WordPress website a bit fast.

Make your website load faster in Divi Theme using image srcsets.
<h3>The Problem – Images on divi webpage serving single image size irrespective of devices sizes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Is your divi webpage slow?</li>
<li>Do the tags serve a single size irrespective of the device size?</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<a href="https://neilpatel.com/blog/speed-is-a-killer/" rel="nofollow ugc">A slower website causes decrease in sales due to increase in bounce rate.</a>
</blockquote>
A responsive image offers different sizes of the same image. The browser decides the best image size to render.
Divi includes a fullsize and regular image module. They don’t serve a responsive image. It’s a one-size-fits-all.
The non-responsive image have a single image size. The same image loads on large desktop, tablet and mobiles.
<blockquote>
Let’s say you use the native divi image module with image of size 2000px. Serving the 2000px wide image on a device with width 400px serves no purpose other than to slow down the webpage.
</blockquote>
<h3>The Solution – Divi responsive image size plugin</h3>
The <a href="https://wptools.app/wordpress-plugin/divi-responsive-image-sizes-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">Divi Responsive Image Size</a> plugin has two modules.
<ul>
<li>Responsive Image divi module – It’s available in regular divi section.</li>
<li>Fullwidth Responsive Image divi module – It’s available in fullwidth divi section.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
Both the modules help creates a image tag with responsive image sizes.
</blockquote>
A responsive image adds the srcset and sizes attributes to the image markup.
<h3>What does srcset and sizes do?</h3>
Consider the example of an <img> tag
<blockquote>
<img alt="Divi responsive image sizes" src="default.jpg" srcset="small.jpg 240w, medium.jpg 300w, large.jpg 720w" sizes="(max-width: 360px) 300px, 100vw">
</blockquote>
Let’s go over each attribute.
<blockquote>
alt=”Divi responsive image sizes”`
</blockquote>
The <code>alt</code> attribute describes the alternative text for the image. Browser loads this text when it can’t find the image.
<blockquote>
src=”default.jpg”
</blockquote>
The <code>src</code> attribute defines a fallback image path for browsers that don’t support srcset and sizesattributes
<blockquote>
srcset=”small.jpg 240w, medium.jpg 300w, large.jpg 720w”
</blockquote>
The <code>srcset</code> attribute lists images at different sizes. Along with each image path we specify it’s width in pixels.
<blockquote>
sizes=”(max-width: 360px) 300px, 100vw”
</blockquote>
The sizes attribute instructs the browser on how to pick the right image from the srcset based on the viewport (device) size.
Going by the above example,
<ul>
<li>For viewport size 360px and below, browser displays medium.jpg (300px) image.</li>
<li>For viewport size above 360px, browser displays large.jpg image that is 720px wide.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Divi image sizes</h3>
Divi supports following css media breakpoints.
<ul>
<li>Large screens (1405px upwards)</li>
<li>Laptops and desktops (between 1100px and 1405px)</li>
<li>Tablets in landscape mode (between 981px and 1100px)</li>
<li>Tablets in portrait mode (between 768px and 980px)</li>
<li>Smart phones in landscape mode (between 480px and 768px)</li>
<li>Smart phones in portrait mode (between 0 and 479px)</li>
</ul>
For every breakpoint, the responsive divi modules has a corresponding field to set the image width.
