Browsers take too long to load such huge files: if you have a slow connection or a connection problem, the browser may time out before loading the image.

There's no point uploading 4032px wide images when the theme displays them at 840px maximum, and no point uploading high resolution images when all browsers display them at 72. You should make copies of your images, downsize them in an image editing application to resolution 72 and width 840px (or less than 800, if you want the colored background of the theme on all four sides), and upload and insert those copies. This way you don't waste your storage space, and your pages will load a lot faster. Plus you'll get better quality as well, because images downsized by WP lose quality - see here:

b) The URLs of the main images of the previous posts give a 404 (not found) response. Are you sure you haven't deleted them from your media library?

I've been using my blog for the past few months. Recently I changed the theme to monotone, and I combined some of the posts. At the top of each post I set a picture that is inserted, so that it appears quite large. Below is the gallery of thumbnails. It was working fine for a few days, but now when the blog is accessed the large inserted picture doesn't show up. I edited the first one and changed it to be centered, and then it showed up on the blog. Then I tried doing it to the second post as well, but the image was already centered in the settings. But when I checked the blog, the image showed up there as well.

Does anyone know why with editing it shows up? Or why the inserted images disappeared in the first place?

Thank you!

If you have not done as I said up here and if you have relied on the WordPress cropper then know that the result is a loss of image quality.

I checked the first image on your latest post, and it's 3465px wide, resolution 180. There's absolutely no point uploading such huge files when most users' screens are no wider than 1000 or 1200px and when all browsers display images at a resolution of 72: you're only wasting your storage space and needlessly increasing the loading time of your pages. For best results (including no issues with IE) you should downsize copies of your images in an image editing application to a resolution of 72 and a width not exceeding the maximum for the theme you're using, and upload and insert these copies. This will give you better quality as well, because images downsized by WP lose some color and sharpness.
