seems to work but hardly any saving?

    hi,

    i have this website where a few editors don’t know much about image compression. so i installed this plugin to make it easy. my first conversion was PNG to JPG which was impressive, good saving. but then converting JPG-JPG hardly does anything. with normal photo’s the reduction is 2%? i am sure i can compress their images ‘offline’ from, say, 200kb to 50 kb without real visible loss.
    i have ‘lossy’ on, and strip exif also. can i do something else to make a better compression?

    If you have lossy turned on, do you have a cloud subscription, as the plugin instructs?

    what i understood was if the on-server files are present and working, there is no need for the cloud.
    and from that check-screen i can see it’s all “ok”, i have at least one of the required files working..

    as my website is hosted in china i don’t think cloud will work very well.

    The instructions on the settings page very clearly say that a cloud subscription is required for lossy JPG functionality. I don’t know that there would be any problems using it in china, but the base plans start pretty cheap at $3, so you could give it a try if you’d like to use that feature.

    it may not work because a lot of web traffic is blocked in china.

    If you have command line access to your server, contact me via https://ewww.io/contact-us/ and I’ll send you a test command. I can’t imagine they’ve blocked my service, and haven’t ever had anyone report an issue with that. But I don’t know if I have any customers in China, so I can’t say for sure one way or another without running a test.
