I know you are trying to help, just a shame WordPress does not document/ allow for this. * There must be some value called as site is accessed, without having to change every occurrence - This reply was modified 4 years, 11 months ago by [silentecho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silentecho/). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Migrating WordPress site to new server and new url](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/migrating-wordpress-site-to-new-server-and-new-url/) * Thread Starter [silentecho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silentecho/) * (@silentecho) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/migrating-wordpress-site-to-new-server-and-new-url/#post-14485623) * OK, problem there is * I cannot run on new installation since the dashboard switches back to the old one. * If I run it on old installation, that will stop working as well * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [What is freedoms.png for](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-freedoms-png-for/) * Thread Starter [silentecho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silentecho/) * (@silentecho) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-freedoms-png-for/#post-14410502) * I fully respect your opinion. However you eventually fill up a bucket with drips. WordPress.org themselves recommend – * “Typically, large high quality images should be kept between 100K and 60K. Smaller images should be closer to 30K and lower” * My fresh WordPress standard install is 55mb but includes approx 20 large image files that in total represents approx 4mB which means nearly 8% of the complete WordPress install size is accounted for by less than 20 images !! * Statistically – less than 1% of the actual files (files that exceed WordPress recommendations) account for nearly 10% of the total install volume. Those are pretty large drips ! particularly when most of these images are not required. * Like I say – not being argumentative, but the whole principle of efficient web installations is removing unnecessary bloat and WordPress could do a lot to help * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [What is freedoms.png for](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-freedoms-png-for/) * Thread Starter [silentecho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silentecho/) * (@silentecho) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-freedoms-png-for/#post-14407639) * Except updates, backups and storage space. But I understand – WordPress includes a pointlessly large image that I dont need but it’s there anyway. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [What is freedoms.png for](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-freedoms-png-for/) * Thread Starter [silentecho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silentecho/) * (@silentecho) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-freedoms-png-for/#post-14407537) * Thanks for your quick reply – * Well, when you are looking to have an efficient site, reducing css, js, unnecessary bloat, bandwidth (which costs money), removing revisions, reducing your own image sizes, tidying your database and addressing backup times and storage – having to store a 350k image, back it up, use up backup space and waste time when you dont use it – Why would you NOT delete it ? * It is the single largest file on my entire installation – and I don’t use it ! * I can look at any unused, unwanted file and say why delete it, but then I’ll end up with hundreds of unwanted files. * More important – why keep it – what benefit is it to me? * If it is used on [http://example.com/wp-admin/freedoms.php](http://example.com/wp-admin/freedoms.php).– why not store it there rather than on every WordPress users site and in every backup they do? * Actually I just visited the link you sent me and it doesn’t even appear there!
