 * Howdy, I’m noticing when I View Page Info (via Firefox) I can see what images
   that should be loading. I can also see the sizes. I’m noticing that the gallery
   thumbnails are accessing the original super large images and merely displaying
   it as thumbnail size. This seems very inefficient and slow especially if there
   is a gallery displaying a dozen images. Am I missing something that should allow
   the thumbnails to pick a smaller WordPress size of an image. I searched and did
   not result of anything in the forums. Seems like this would be a huge deal!
 * Please advise.

 * Okay, here is a [screenshot](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NQxgPcEqx9ssgcFApoplqT3rZdIuz2NQ)
   of the problem.
 * I am pretty sure that the problem is that the filesize of the original image 
   is too large, because if I limit the number of images to display, it will more
   often display properly.
 * So, the question again is how do I display the thumbnail as thumbnail-sized file.
   Given an image with large dimensions (1600px or so), WordPress automatically 
   generates a thumb, small and medium versions of that same file. However, according
   to View Page info of the browser, the images dimensions for the gallery thumbnails
   is loading the giant master images instead of the smaller versions of an image.(
