Hi Patrick :

This was the reply I got from E WWW Image Optimizer :

“Pagespeed insights is kind of tough to nail down. Generally we recommend checking your site speed yourself or use GTMetrix as it gives better insights into what is actually going on (via the waterfall tab).

That having been said, the specific issue regarding next gen image formats has to do with converting that one image to webp. I don’t see that you are using WebP on your site. This article talks about how to set that up depending on how your site is configured: ‘EWWW IO and WebP Images’ I would suggest starting by adding the .htaccess rules discussed in that article and going from there”.

It seems they are referring to using their paid premium service (requires an active API key). Also my WP runs the older PHP version (7.3.20) and wonder if this is an additional issue. I ask them for a clarification on theses two topics

Cheers
Enrique

Hi Predrag :
Thank you again for your wonderful directions.

I use Directory Smush option to optimize my theme, but I still don’t see any improvements on page speed. Did I do it correctly?

I’m writing to EWWW for advice on how to optimize non media library file, as you suggested.

Any comments?

Cheers,
Enrique

Thank you Adam.

I installed EWWW Image optimizer (https://monosnap.com/file/RafFAe9AwQSFSuHYVP6OteZgQE5clQ)

Did it convert to next gen images? I don’t see the major time savings I was expected. Google page speeds keeps telling me I can save 11.55 seconds in loading time.

I use the EWWW tool to scan for any images that haven’t been processed. Is EWWW supposed to proactively optimize my images to optimal compression or do I have to do this manually? Did I do something wrong?

Looking forward to your comments

Best regards,
Enrique

Thank you Adam.

It looks complicated, so I still want to use formats like JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, and WebP because they provide better compression than PNG or JPEG, which means faster downloads and less data consumption + Google page speeds tells me I’ll be saving 11.7 seconds in time.

Is there a plugin or service that will automatically convert my uploaded images to the optimal formats?

Grateful for your advice

Best regards,
Enrique

Hello Adam :

Thank you for much needed help.

Regarding your question about settings of “Bulk Smush” option is enabled to “All”

I now wonder if you could help me regarding next generation image format, which Google page speed states my website will be saving 11.7 seconds in time.

I have downloaded and install an app WebPconcv. that converts my images to WebP format – allowing faster loading time (see screenshot WebP conv.Encoding mode https://monosnap.com/file/IQPfGjog5wQK022cL2Jf1CILrD7flL?idx=undefined&total=1)

Do you know of a tutorial which will show me on a step -per-step basis how to download WebP format images to my website, once they have been converted from JPEG format? (see screenshot WebPconv. Images file
https://monosnap.com/file/TvWSqdIie39YSTvk7Jbr5h2VP9JmLz?idx=undefined&total=2)

I don’t know converting images to WebP for WordPress.Do you do one image at a time or bulk? How do you enable WebP images in WordPress?. I can understand this application (WebPconv.) encoding JPEG/PNG to WebP. format, but is this exercise before uploading to WordPress Media Library or after?

Grateful for your advice

Best regards,
Enrique Vanegas

Done with Bulk Smush now. Relevant link: https://monosnap.com/file/ObdukdbUpsq3IbZpIPqDHGHsITUPfV?idx=undefined&total=0

Please let me know if this answer your question.

Related to the issue of compression on my website, I have a question. It’s to do with WebP image format which I’ll elaborate once we get Smush problem out of the way.

Thank you

Hello Nastia :
Thank you for your help.

Please find attached Smush Dashboard link which tells you which options are enable in the Smush plugin. Namely Bulk Smush and Lazy Load features.

You asked me if I tried to compress images on my site and the answer is no. How do I compress images?

I share your opinion Page Speed Insight results vary and are not uniform. My best result was 69.

Looking forward to your comments.

Best regards,
Enrique Vanegas

PS. is it possible to attach a screenshot?
