I have been running wpsmush on my website but i keep noticing images aren’t being optimized. Thing is, when i send the smush option (to optimize all images), I get a count of 1700 images. But on the ftp i can count over 9,000. It seems at plain sight as though the original image is being optimized, but the other versions generated by the theme aren’t (the thumbnails, and slider and box sizes). Anyone else noticing this?
I found using the method of changing the compression level in the fuctions.php file works best.
chris what you mean?
Read the PageSpeed topic for more information on all my suggestions for optimizing the theme. Try viewing back to front to find most recent posts in that thread. You might also be able to search by “image optimization.”
add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', create_function( '', 'return 50;' ) );
