 * Hi,
 * First, thanks for a fantastic plugin.
 * However, having installed it, my GTMetrix Speed scores have gone from A/A to 
   C/B because the thumbnails are being loaded full size and resized in the browser.
   How can I make it use resized images stored on the server?
 * I’d imagine that it’s something simple that I have missed, but would appreciate
   any help you can offer to overcome the issue.
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fusing-smaller-thumbnails-rather-than-resizing%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * What is the setting you have under Thumbnails?
 * You can pick a different thumbnail and that will be used. Note that if the size
   doesn’t exist then the plugin won’t generate it for the older images. You’ll 
   need a plugin like Force Regenerate Thumbnails to do that.
