Is there a way to reduce the weight of images quickly and easely ?

[Helena]

Hy there,

I'm really happy about this website, i already said it before but I really mean it.

I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the images on my site quickly? In pixel size I mean, reduce the weight.

Just to present the context, I installed Google Map app and I'm working on an interactive map. It works pretty well but the downloaded images are too heavy and as a result, the map takes a long time to display. Logical, you might say.
I'm really lazy to review everything in Photoshop to reduce the size.
So if there is a way to reduce these images, thank you very much!!

You can see that here : https://helenagebeil.com/insitu/dansesurbaines/

The page is slow to load and moreover the images are not the right size...

Thank you so much by advance!

hey, I would suggest using the shortpixel plugin, it bulk optimises images and has the option to use webp which is great for loading times too without compromising quality too much.

if you have access to a windows pc, the application "irfanview" can batch resize images.

a quick google search also shows some online services that can downsize images:

if you add an image using the gridder with +image or any other gridder element,
a resized smaller version will be loaded

unless you disabled this in lay options, by activating
"never show resized version of images"

Ok great thank you very much for your feedback. I'm going to look at all of this. Is it possible according to the media library to revise the images? I can crop them but not reduce the pixels, it would be so much easier.

Well, I finally reduced everything on photoshop, it was simpler, rather than weighing it down with another extension.
Now that this problem is settled, I meet with another. It's never over it seems.

Here is the new problem: I put audio sound, two vocals but.... but it can be downloaded. I don't want us to be able to download it, what should I do?

Thank you very much for your help!

hey ure just using this map plugin inside of lay theme, maybe this is something you can ask this map plugin author?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42517144/how-do-i-remove-the-download-option-in-the-html5-audio-tag

basically it needs a nodownload attribute
since im not the author of this map plugin, i dont know where to change this

[arminunruh]

oh actually maybe this css?

Enter this css in "lay options" -> "custom css & html" -> "custom css for desktop"

audio::-webkit-media-controls-enclosure {
    overflow:hidden;
}

audio::-webkit-media-controls-panel {
    width: calc(100% + 30px); /* Adjust as needed */
}
