Hi @gazza8485,

We can’t see the above page you have linked as it’s within the admin area and we don’t have credentials to see this.
If you could you provide us with the fatal error message we may be able to help, although this doesn’t sound like a Smush issue.

Cheers,

Hi @wood1e,

Compressing a file doesn’t mean it will fix the render blocking, it will reduce the file size which makes it faster to load.

For more information on optimizing CSS delivery see https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/OptimizeCSSDelivery
For the CSS you can try turning on the inline CSS option for your smaller CSS files and load some of your CSS files in the footer, these options are available in the advanced area of Hummingbirds Asset Optimization.

For more information on removing render blocking JS see https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/BlockingJS
Again you can turn on defer JS option in the advanced area of Hummingbirds Asset Optimization.

For both your JS and CSS files I would change settings one file at a time and check the front end of your site to make sure nothing is breaking.

It’s hard to get a perfect performance score and fix all recommendations especially when you are using multiple plugins that require different JS and CSS files.

After looking up your site on Google PageSpeed Insights, you already have quite a decent score so I wouldn’t be too worried about getting it much higher.

Hi @hannahlogan21,

Both the image used on the home page slider and are using the same source image https://i0.wp.com/www.eatsleepbreathetravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Portugal-11-of-48.jpg which as @wpmudev-support8 pointed out remains unsmushed in the free version.
The difference in quality you are noticing is actually coming from Jetpacks Image CDN, if you inspect the image using devtools you will see there are added parameters to the images e.g. ?resize=700%2C526 which is altering the image quality. If you want to use the smushed image you will need to change the source to used one of your thumbnail images which have been smushed but while Jetpack Image CDN is enabled you will still encounter the difference in quality with the front slider and the post image.

Hi @thirteenthfloor,

Thank you for your support ticket.

Hi @tknguyen,

Thanks for your review, it’s great to hear you’re enjoying the plugin.

For your first point please see https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/delete-unused-image-files-wordpress/

Yes the Smushed images will stay on your server.

See the first link I posted for more information on this, unchecking these only stops the smushing of the wordpress generated files.

Not a problem! I’ll mark this issue as resolved.

Calum

That’s great news!
Just for reference what browser were you using when the issue was happening?

Cheers,
Calum

Hi @annah405,

Okay, could you please try using a different web browser e.g. Firefox, Chrome or Safari and see if the problem still persists.

Hi @annah405,

I was unable to replicate this issue. Are you using the latest version of Smush?
Could you please inspect the page using dev tools https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/ and see if there are any errors in the console when you repeat the steps above?

Thanks,
Calum

Hi @annah405,

Could you please provide detailed steps to help me recreate your issue?

Thanks,

Hi @afina_sun,

I was able to replicate your error. I’m running some further tests and will get back to you as soon as I can figure out the issue.

Hi @afina_sun,

I’ve run a manual scan for you. Could you please run the test again and a report should come through.

jquery-migrate wont be compressed because it is already a .min file.

I checked your homepage which is the page the performance report checks and it is serving a cached version of the page with the uncompressed contact-form-7 scripts.js file. Please clear your Hummingbird Page Cache then visit your homepage again then rerun the performance test.

Awesome that’s great. Your settings seem fine, no the exclude toggles should stay blue. Again this is a UI fault which will be fixed in an upcoming update.
The toggle turned on (blue) will include the file as normal, turned off (gray) will exclude the file and stop it from loading.

After publishing your changes with compress turned on (blue) for wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/js/scripts.js you will then need to navigate to a page in your site where the file is loaded, this will then start the compression where you can return to the Asset Optimization page, refresh the page until you see this https://snag.gy/iJkIgq.jpg showing that the file has been optimized.
