 * The only thing keeping me from using this great plugin is that I don’t understand
   the thumbnail generation.
    I know that Google wants a 1×1, 4×3, and 16×9. I know
   that the Create plugin is making 3 sizes of each of these image ratios. But here
   is what I am seeing: I upload a 2000×2000 image with WordPress thumbnail creation
   turned off. The plugin generates the following: 200×200 320×320, 320×240, 320
   ×180 480×480, 480×360, 480×270 600×600, 600×400 (why 600×400? why no 4×3 and 
   16×9) 720×720, 720×540, 720×405 735×735
 * The Google Structured Data Testing Tool shows 4 images:
    720×720 720×540 720×
   405 735×735
 * I don’t understand why we need to generate a 720×720 and a 735×735 and put both
   of those similar sizes in the markup.
 * Also what is the deal with the 600 sizes?
 * Thanks for your great work making this plugin.

 * I have looked into this some more and answered my own questions.
 * The 600×600 and 600×400 were made by another plugin.
 * The plugin creates a 735 width image in the same ratio as the original. It also
   creates a square, 4×3, and 16×9 at 720 width.

 * Hello,
 * Sorry we didn’t get back to you before.
 * We do generate a few sizes primarily with the goal of enhancing pagespeed and
   providing schema everything it needs.
 * Glad you tracked it down.
