    Hi,

    I’ve recently noticed that listing thumbnails are not actually smaller versions of the featured image, but a full size featured image itself. When people are on the archive or search page, website loads full size thumbs and it makes no sense for me, since it slows down the website.

    Is it just my website or it is supposed to be this way?

    Thanks.

    Hi Roman,

    This is how it works by default https://wpgeo.directory/starter/places/united-states/pennsylvania/philadelphia/restaurants/morimoto/ but I’ll check with a developer regarding this.

    Hi Kor,

    If we talk about the page that you mentioned, then I was referring to the thumbnails which are in the “Latest Places” sidebar.

    The problem is, that in such themes as Supreme Directory, featured image is quite big. On my site it’s as wide as 1400 pixels, because otherwise it just looks bad. So for Supreme it doesn’t make any sense to use the same full size image on thumbnails.

    Hi Roman,

    My senior just shared this section of the documentation https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-design/#scripts and we would like you to try to enable the “Lazy Load” feature which would definitely improve such cases. Could you give it a try?

    Thanks!

    I agree, lazy loading defenitely helps, and this is what i use right now, but it is still doesn’t help with image thumbnails being too heavy.

    It just gives a poor experience to people with low bandwidht or bad reception. Some of the pages when fully loaded weight up to 5mb which is 5 times more than it should be for optimal performance. And it’s all because of the thumbnails.

    It would be a really important improvement if you could take this into account for future releases. I suppose there is nothing that could be done about it right now. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

    Thanks.

    Hi Roman,

    You can use this code snippet to use smaller images but it might look blurry on some views:

    add_filter('geodir_use_small_list_img','__return_true');

    Thanks,

    Hi Stiofan, thanks you. Yes they look blurry, but pages load much faster.

    I’ve noticed that I also have thumbnails 768px wide, is there a way to use them instead of small ones?

    Hi Roman,

    From the next release we will have an option under GD>Design>listings>Listing image size
    Where you can select the size you want to use. If you need the option sooner you you can download the latest from here: https://github.com/GeoDirectory/geodirectory

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
