    Hi,
    I’m working on a demo-site for events (Enfold & Events Calendar Pro-Plugin). Works fine so far and shows pretty well in the browser but Google PageSpeed tells me that I have to optimize my featured images again in the Single Events (“Optimize size and compression for better…”.).

    My Single Event Picture: Featured picture full span over the whole article-width (the hight of the picture is not so relevant here).

    Problem: I can’t figure out how I have to modify the pics or the theme to get what PageSpeed is asking for.

    What I have done: Prepared pic in Photoshop, size 726 x 320, export for web (quality 70%, progressive), upload with Optimus to WordPress (and regenerate the thumbs with the plugin “Simple Image Sizes” for 726 x 300 px). I made no changes in PHP- or CSS-files so far.

    I tried different picture dimensions, but always get the same “red exclamation mark” in PageSpeed…
    I really would appreciate, if anyone could give me some advise what to change in Enfold/EventsCalendar or in the handling of the pics themselves.

    Hey Rolf!

    Your site is loading in 2.8 seconds for me. I suppose you could try reducing the size of your Tsing Tao image a bit more as it’s 130KB and the largest image you have on your page so far. The problem here is probably the amount of images your using so you could also consider removing some of them and placing them on separate pages.

    Other than that I would just ignore the pagespeed results.

    Regards,
    Elliott

    Hi Elliot,

    Thanks for your answer. Yes, all the slider images definitely need a optimization. I only was concerned about the header-image size in the single posts/events (because of PageSpeeds complains about that.

    Regards,
    Rolf
