limit_image_size()

Limit the requested image to a max size to prevent huge filesize images from loading on the front-end.

PHP April 9, 2019

Usage

This function runs automatically, so it is not called manually. Is this incorrect?

Demo


Serving images with a max width of 1200px.



get_post_thumbnail()

nebula()->get_thumbnail_src()

Additional Notes

Original size of this test image is 7360×4545.

This image is loaded via the WYSIWYG editor from the media library.

When this will not control output image sizes:

This function listens for full sizes to be used and limits them. Therefore there are plenty of situations where this will not limit output image sizes.

  • If the Nebula Option “Limit Image Dimensions” is disabled (which it is by default)
  • When specified image sizes are added and used
  • If an image is hard-coded into a template file or stylesheet
  • Inside galleries
  • This may not work inside third-party plugins
  • (Possibly others too)

Here is another test using the WordPress Block Editor.
