Poor Google Pagespeed scores on images loaded via shortcode

[Shane]

Hi TEC team

We are displaying selected events on our home page using the events shortcode (via Avada theme) but getting poor Google Pagespeed results due to the image sizes being loaded.

Is there a way to force loading of smaller images / thumbnails?

Thanks
Shane

Hi Shane!

Thanks for getting in touch regarding that issue. Let me help you with it.

If you want to change the image size you can make a template override like is explains in this article > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/featured-images/

I know some users use the Ewww Image Opimizer plugin to lower the size of their images, so you might want to give it a try and see if you can get good results > https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions.

Best,
Victor
