Goodmorning,
I saw on Google PageInsight that my images in the magazine element are very heavy (considering the size) and it penalizes me really a lot in SEO. It’s my first problem in this tool, cause i’ve lots of images. I suppose that images are automaticaly compressed when they are shown in the magazine element (or similar element with small images) and i’d like to know if i can increase the compression rate in order to decrease the size of these small images.Thanks!
Hey viaggiareverde,
There are two ways to improve this score, one is to Optimize your images by using progressive jpg and Optimizing them with a tool such as https://tinyjpg.com/
The second way is to ensure your server is enabling compression. Add this code to your .htaccess file:# compress text, images, html, javascript, css, xml: AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/png AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/gif AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/jpg AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/jpegServers use gzip to compress, but you can’t change the ratio. Here is a link to test your site’s gzip: https://varvy.com/tools/gzip/

MikeHi, thanks for your answer. Actually I’m compressing images before uploading on wordpress and i’ve activated gZip compression with my hosting service. Now, looking at the result of PageSpeed Insight it is still very bad, more or less the same as it was before. It tells me that images are not compressed (i didn’t understand if gZip compression should help…).
One thing that makes me think is that some day ago i asked you to increase the size of the images of magazine element. And, after some changes i get bigger immages in that element. But i also needed to increase the thumbnail size to 1420×750, that is exactly the size of those images that google suggest to compress. In particular one of my images, which was more or less 100 kb, seems to be over 300 kb in the magazine element.
I don’t know if i’ve been clear enough, so i also give a temporary access if you need to do something.
Thanks again,
Luca
After some tries I add this: removing the magazine element (in which i’ve these problematic images), my result on PageSpeed increases a lot from 33 to 63 on mobile, and from 35 to 84 on desktops. So, the magazine element is the problem, can you please help me to solve it cause i need it to show my articles on mobiles.
Thanks

How are you compressing your images? Because Page Speed is recommending you compress, and testing one of your images on TinyJPG shows a 64% savings if you use their tool
Also the Gzip tool says compression is not occuring
After optimizing your images, remove the old ones and then regenerate thumbnails using this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ I believe this will help the magazine element issue.Best regards,
MikeHi, thanks for your answer. The image you checked (and other images of flags, aren’t compressed yet. My fault) The other images (landscapes, monuments ecc,) are compressed with Caesium. Thinking about the google pagespeed test result, i realized that maybe it tells me to compress the images sizes (in the magazine element) because they are very big (in size) and so very heavy, considering where they are shown (ie 3000×2000 for an images that goes in a box of 180×180 can be considerate inapropriated).
Is it possible?Than the gZip compression. My hosting service tells me that gZip compressios has been activated and other sites, which check this thing, say that it’s working. (please don’t check it now cause i’m solving a 500 error). So, where can I personaly check if it really working?
Finally,
I’m thinking about re-compressing e re-sizing my website images. So, can you please tell me what should be a correct size ( in hight and weight) for featured images for my posts and fullscreen images?Thanks a lot for your help
Best regards
Hi,
Thanks for the feedback, it looks like 138×81 is the size of your magazine element images. When you are ready to check your Gzip compression you can use this tool: https://varvy.com/tools/gzip/Best regards,
MikeHi.thanks for the answer. Can you please tell me a correct dimension for features immages (snown inside the posts) and for fullscreen images ( for a slider for example) ?
