Hi everyone,
I’m working on optimizing a website with some large assets stored in the CMS. When I open the “Site Usage” panel under Site Settings, I can see a list of “Top assets” that are too big. While this feature is helpful, I’m struggling to locate these assets within the project itself. I need to access them in order to make the necessary changes.
Is there a way to search for a specific file name directly within the CMS?
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately no. Your first step should be to compress images if you haven’t yet, and that should convert the full range of images to WEBP or AVIF for a significant efficiency improvement over JPEG/PNG.
However it won’t physically resize large images, and it won’t delete the original un-optimized images. Those can still be directly referenced, for example from your RSS feeds.
In terms of finding that specific image, I haven’t tried it yet but I understand that Un-lighthouse ( free ) is good at scanning the full site and identifying specific text/images, and I believe Screaming Frog ( paid ) has a similar capability.
