I upload pictures into wordpress and then I look into my database and there are 4 or 5 different image files for each image I upload.
one is called filename.jpg, and then the others are various sizes and are named filename-320x320.jpg, filename-50x50.jpg
is this normal?
I assume this is because wordpress offers "large, medium, small" options when you embed an image into your post, etc.
I'm just new to the whole back-end side of website ownership so I'm trying to grasp this, and I also wanted to make sure this isn't slowing my site down. I assume having extra images in the database isn't slowing the site down if the webpage itself isn't requesting that data when loading. Correct? ie, if it's only requesting 1 of those image files rather than all 5.
