Non optimized images marked as already optimized

Hi @paulabender,

I hope you are doing well today!

I’ve just installed the plugin and wanted to give it a try with some images in the Media library.

Have you also tried Bulk Smush?

they are more than 500k and bigger than 1200px which is the maximum size that I set for image resize

If you are referring to Image Resizing setting in Bulk Smush, image resizing happens only when you upload the image and enabling Resize uploaded images?option lets you change the default max width and height threshold defined by WordPress to other?dimensions. Please also note that WordPress excludes PNG images from automatic image resizing. As a result, only uploaded JPEG images are affected by these?settings.

Please also take a look at the documentation below for the file size and type restrictions and check those images accordingly.

Hello Zafer,

Thanks for your quick response. I want to try how the plugin works manually before doing some bulk actions.

I already read that info, and this images marked as “alredy optimized” meet all the requirements to be optimized, in fact, they were uploaded in bulk, taken the same day, and processed the same way, they have all the same size and resolution. So I don’t get why the plugin does this differentiation.

Image Resizing is ON and it worked with the other images that I’m allowed to optimize manually in the media library.

I just want to be able to optimize those big, heavy images too, there’s no reason to be marked as already optimized, how can I achieve that?

Hi @paulabender,

Could we know the image type? ie whether its png, jpg, webp extension images? By default, images with webp file extension will be skipped by Smush.

Possible to provide us a screenshot of the existing setting you have enabled under Smush > Bulk Smush page so that we could have a better idea why the image isn’t optimized?

Also, if possible could you please share the URL to one of these images which are marked as already optimized so that we could test in our system and see how that goes? You can use Google Drive, Dropbox or any such cloud service to share the URL.

In general, if Smush detects that the image size couldn’t be optimized further without losing its quality then it would be listing such images as already optimized.

Looking forward to your response.

Here are the requested images and one image link:

As you can see there are like batch of images all with the same characteristics, dimention, weight, etc… Some I can optimize and some I can’t.

Hi @paulabender,

Thanks for providing further information. I’m bringing this further to our developer’s attention to check what might be causing such behaviour. Will keep you posted once we get further feedback asap.

Hi @paulabender,

Based on the given screenshot the images should have got optimized. Could you please run a “Re-check Images” and then see if that picks any error?

In general, running a re-check should help picking any errors. So could you please let us know how it goes once you try the “Re-check Images”.

If it works fine, could you please try to finish running the Bulk Smush, so that it would also give a better idea if there are any errors picked?

Looking forward to your response.

Nithin-

I did the Re-check images and the error message changed to: “Skipped (AA2000-179.jpg), file size limit of 5 MB exceeded. Upgrade to Pro to Smush larger images.” And now I get what happens.

Thanks.

Hi @paulabender,

The free version of Smush can optimize image files up to 5MB. To optimize larger files, please upgrade to the Pro version of the plugin.

I am marking this topic as resolved since the issue has been identified. Please feel free to open a new topic if you need any further assistance; we are happy to help.
