    Hi,

    My site is newsmom.com and I use the Genesis News theme.

    I keep getting this warning from the Google Page Speed test.. but the following image no longer exists on my site!

    Optimize images
    Properly formatting and compressing images can save many bytes of data.
    Optimize the following images to reduce their size by 19KiB (3% reduction).
    Losslessly compressing https://newsmom.com/…ds/2015/09/Edited-Header-C-Edit-News.jpg could save 19KiB (3% reduction).
    Hide details

    Can anyone tell me why google still sees the image when it runs a test? I’ve deleted the image and emptied the cache.

    So, that’s a reason on my long list for why Google’s PageSpeed Test is broken, of which the highest reason is that it suggests you start doing things that it’s own mod_pagespeed is already doing.

    In short, best not to use it. ??

    Instead, both https://www.webpagetest.org/ and https://gtmetrix.com/ have great standing in the community, and they actually offer helpful recommendations. ??
