SITE GROUND alerted me to tell me I had used up 80% of my data.so I know I need to do something other than going to grow bigger.

I realised that this may take some time so went off to do something else for 30 mins and came back and my mac had gone back to sleep and this seemed to throw off the process.

I don’t know which if any have been compressed.?

also, should I be formatting them resizing them 1st is this issue? if so how do I know what size to do this?

I started a blog as I enjoy writing and the photos complement the posts but I’m a bit over my head with the technology side of things /maintaining a website etc. anyone got an easy answer?

I used to use a combination of plugins to achieve probably about half the performance gains I get by using this one plugin Nitropack. Don’t get me wrong the plugins I used to use were good and are the best examples of their function available, but that changed when i installed Nitropack, It is on another level altogether.

I’m guessing like 90% of you who use premium optimisation plugins have a set up like what I used to use:

WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache for general caching
Smush, Imagify, or ShortPixel for image optimisation
WP Optimise, Autoptimise and other weird and wonderful plugins to eek out the last bits of performance gains you could find…

Well like you, I was the same, and still getting terrible scores B’s & C’s, siteloading in 4 seconds+, errors on google page speeds and more.

Then I installed Nitropack and after a few bumps in the road, I now have a site loading in approx 1.5 seconds (this is HUGE improvement for my site) 95+ mobile page compared score compared to 5 orignially and 99+ desktop score compared to 24 on GPI!

I have also been getting weekly updates from Simon who is my customer tech lead and he has been awesome since he took charge of my account offering weekly updates, reviewing my account and looking to see where (if any) more improvements can be made!

Is it expensive…from face value you could think so, from results definitely not – And remember you are actually saving by not having to use 3 or 4 other plugins and their prices.

Forgive me for the long ranting positive review, but I have been pulling my hair out over trying to optimise my site reading hours and hour of articles, wasting money and getting nowhere to now finally getting it to a place where I am happy! So i need to make sure they are successful so they are around for the long haul

Awesome product Nitropack and awesome team – keep up the great work!

For those that are interested in what my other joint best plugins was…for me, it has to be All in One WP Migration another really innovative plugin.

Would definitely recommend.

I am trying to make my site run as fast as possible. I am using a tool on the web called GTMetrix.com

It assess you site for performance. One of the issues it raise is that a number of theme images are not optimised. eg the RSS.png image. Its is 30K in size.

I tried to extract the file from the files and opening it up in Photoshop so I can optimise it.

Would you be able to send me the following files in png format, Adobe Photoshop so I can compress them.

? /wp-content/themes/raindrops/images/rss.png could save 31.0KiB (97% reduction). See optimized version
? /wp-content/themes/raindrops/images/h2.png could save 25.5KiB (88% reduction). See optimized version
? /themes/raindrops/images/header.png could save 24.3KiB (88% reduction). See optimized version
? /wp-content/themes/raindrops/images/footer.png could save 24.3KiB (91% reduction). See optimized version

thanks Robert

We’ve accumulated a lot of stuff that is either not used on any pages or posts, or has been accidentally uploaded multiple times for multiple pages.

It would be nice to make the library more efficient and slimmed-down, especially when it comes to backing it up.
