    Hi
    I currently use EWWW image optimiser which has worked fine up until now. I recently used a plugin called Ultimate VC Addons with an element called info banner to upload loads of banners throughout my site with images and html links for internal linking. This was to replace javascipt linking as I found that yoast was detecting loads of orphaned pages, so the javascript links werent working (for SEO). However, after completion the page speed score dropped through the floor with GT Metrix and Google Page Speed Scores were also significantly affected. Both referred to image resizing so compression obviously isnt the issue. I spoke to EWWW image advisor and after advice I am now trying their ExactDN service for resizing but it isnt working. The author says that the images arent giving the information his software needs in order to automatically resize the images. I wondered if you have a feature that does this and whether it might work better. Even though it might sound like I know what Im talking about technically I am a complete layman so if you are able and happy to help please respond in ‘simple/stupid’ language, thank you (-:

    Hi ahamaton, you are right all images shown in your site are the high resolution uploads. The Info Banner does not seem to allow you to select one of the smaller thumbnail sizes that WordPress automatically generates.

    What you can do is “Resize and compress the original image” using the TinyPNG plugin. This can be found in “Media > settings”. Looking at your webpage I think you will need at least 720 pixels wide images, so just enter this value for the width and leave the height empty. Then once that is set you can upload the images for your Link Banners again, maybe give them a suitable name, and they will be scaled to the maximum width of 720 pixels on upload.

    After that you can deselect the “Resize and compress the original image” again, so uploading any regular images after that will not be affected.

    You can also of course set the maximum values to something like 2000, because images of say 6000 x 3500 pixels are generally not much use on the web.
