@arminunruh said in Optimising heavy site and removing unwanted LayTheme elements:

for every image that is uploaded, multiple sizes of it are generated.

Thank you for your reply. A few questions:

"for every image that is uploaded, multiple sizes of it are generated."

Is this because it is creating images for mobile and other breakpoints. Is there any documentation on this?

"im not sure what you want to achieve with having less files on your server. why is a 3.5gb website bad?"

for efficiency, best practice and lower energy/carbon footprint

are there additional themes or elements that are loaded to the system as default, but aren't necessarily used? How do we find these?

A site we've inherited is weighing in at around 3.5GB. There are a few large image files but nothing to warrant 3.5GB. How can we optimise it?

Are there extra LayTheme elements we can remove? If so, how?

Thanks.
