If the owner has access to the system ImageMagick can be ran to change the resolution of the existing images.

PHP can be set to compress the content requested via gzip via the php.ini file or the code that drives the site if the libraries are present.

This site doesn't have gzip compression enabled:

http://checkgzipcompression.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.motobrick.com

If it did it would greatly reduce the bytes sent to the client.

Most BB's can restrict the file size being uploaded too.

First of all, I'm willing to help support the site with periodic contributions the knowledge base and camaraderie is definitely worth supporting.

Second, I am barely able to keep my fairly simple system operating and manage the log in passwords for the places I visit.  There are other sites where I still can't remember how to upload photos, let alone resize them for use here.

Last spring I inadvertently loaded Windows 10 onto my main laptop, and as a result besides needing a new printer that will work with Windows 10 I have lost the use of a lot of the applications I had used in the past.  I still can't get email on this machine and the Windows program that I used to edit photos in the past is no longer available to me.  I for one would be very grateful if there was some sort of facility in the Motobrick forum to auto size the photos that I post as I haven't a clue or access to a 13 year old who can show me how to do it on my machine.

I use a Samsung S7 and take all the photos I post with that.  In the Play Store I found a free app called Photo Resizer which quickly and easily resizes your photos, I am using 640x480.

I then share them to my dropbox or one drive and have them on the laptop to be able to post.  Pretty quick and easy and saves huge amounts of bandwidth.
