 > Thanks for your prompt reply in detail, yes, I'm talking about the file
 size, not the dimensional size, and my basic idea is try to get the size
 before and after the resize, once the resized images is larger, than we
 drop that size of image, what do you think?

 I would be careful about dropping images altogether, but it may be
 possible to save the file size as attachment metadata and factor that into
 our `srcset` considerations in `wp_calculate_image_srcset()`.
