title: how to resize image from url and make the size of the image smaller
body: <p>I have a joomla website with the virtuemart module.</p>
  
  <p>What I have are images and thumbnails which are hosted on a other domain.</p>
  
  <p>Virtuemart gives me 2 options:</p>
  
  <p>1 - browse for image, a thumbnail will be automaticly created</p>
  
  <p>2 - enter a URL for a image which is external hosted, this option doesn't have a resize option</p>
  
  <p>The way I have overcome this problem (with help ofcourse) is to set a height="" attribute to the img tag. The only problem is that when a big image is loaded ie: 500 x 700 px, the so called thumbnail takes time to load, this is logical.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone give me options how a image from a url can be "resized" with as outcome that the thumbnail takes less time to load?</p>
  
  <p>Personally I was thinking about a way to decrease the image quality of the resized image which comes from a url with a code, css or anything else?</p>
  
  <p>I know this has less to do with solving a code, but I know you guys know more options then I do.</p>
