 * Firstly thank you for providing this premium quality theme free of cost..
 * Why don’t this theme uses post thumbnails with reduced images sizes like 250×
   250??
    My website loading speed decreases as this theme loads entire full size
   image in the home page… my website: [http://electrosome.com](http://electrosome.com)

 * In functions.php on line 80, locate:
 *     ```
       add_image_size( 'thumb-medium', 520, 245, true );
       ```
   
 * Change that to:
 *     ```
       add_image_size( 'thumb-medium', 345, 162, true );
       ```
   
 * Preferably by moving the whole alx_setup function to a child theme and then making
   the modification there.
 * The reason such large images are used is that even if people use the full-width
   layout, the images looks sharp. The size above is optimized for 720px width content.
 * Once you’ve made the change, [regenerate thumbnails](http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/).
 * The small thumbnails in AlxTabs is double the size to look sharp on retina/high
   resolution devices.

 * In my opinion, image size is very large if peoples use full width layout… So 
   it is better to show 3 or more post thumbnails and excerpt in a row… instead 
   of 2..

 * Good point. Problem there is that the custom loop wraps posts two-by-two in the
   markup, so easier said than done. But 4 per row is doable with some compromises–
   will consider if for the future.
