Image Compression Concerns

[carpetfiber101]

I'm a prospective Lay buyer.
Great looking theme! I love the look.

I'm concerned with Lay (and my current theme) that when I upload images, it will make the file size larger.

I do a lot of work to minimize file size for a faster website. Does Lay keep image file sizes the sam as they were uploaded? If not, is there a plug-in or workaround you suggest?

Thank you for your time! I look forward to working with Lay soon.

Hey carpetfiber101!
Thx! With lay theme you can configure the image quality in "lay options" -> "misc options" -> "Image Quality (.jpeg)"
By default it's "90".

Lay Theme generates different sizes of your image and shows the right size for the situation, meaning for example on a small phone it won't load a big desktop image, but a smaller version.

Also there is an option "Never show resized versions of your images". With that activated, only the original image that you uploaded will be used/shown.
