Thank you very much for your help.
I have a question.
On my site I installed woocommerce, and for graphic reasons most of the images are transparent png. These images have already been optimized in photoshop and weigh very little even though they are not small in terms of pixels.

My problem is that wordpress or woocommerce reduce these pngs and worsen the resolution, all this also leads to a disproportionate increase in weight.
I load images from 100 / 150kb and with the resizing they weigh 400 / 500kb sometimes even more.

What do you advise me to do?
I thought it would be better to block resizing and compression for png images. So as to display the original images in all the pages of the site, resized only visually with respect to the design of the page.

How can I do this?
Do you have any other advice?

Thank you

Is there any way of removing the Flash Uploader. I have already added the following code to all the function.php files in my Cpanel:

add_filter( ‘flash_uploader’, create_function( ‘$a’, “return null;” ), 1 );

as well as

add_filter( ‘flash_uploader’, create_function( ‘$a’, “return false;” ), 1 );

I have also changed the media settings Image sizes all to 0.

Nothing seems to be working it keeps crunching the images when I upload it.
If anyone can help I will really appreciate it as this is driving me crazy now.

My new site just looked bad due to high compression. Seems like when I upload the image in Media, the compression takes place.

I am confused too. I never thought WordPress compress images by default. So the question is when does WordPress compress these photos? Is it during the upload?

I’ve been experimenting with a few “disable image compression” plugins, and none of them seem to have any effect on my image quality. I’m wondering if the plugins have to be enabled before I upload them, insert them into a page or what?
