Enfold 4.3 – loading time increased [Google says]

Hi Ismael,

you’re right. But I mean the size in bytes. The resized picture has 7 KB, but the original one only 5KB. For greater pictures, the difference is bigger. I would not have e.g. 20% more data due to the fact my pictures are modified by Enfold/WP…

Hi Basilis,

you don’t solve our problem. The solution is not to use a plugin of the third party, because the pictures are maximally optimized while preserving the quality. The only solution, which I can see, is to upload the image in all dimension we need, but it is not very practical.
The example below shows that automatic modifying of pictures by Enfold does not work very well. I would guess that using another dimension (smaller) from my original one the result size in bytes will not bigger or not too much, but the reality is different.

Hi Ismael,

it looks like a great solution, but I have got the error
ERROR: Attempted to set image quality outside of the range [1,100].
when I regenerate the thumbnails. I have just exactly copied your code above where the values are 76 and 75 which corresponds to the range 1,100.

Hi,

thank you, regenerating works now. But the size was not reduced. My original file has dimension 1500×1000 with the quality 90 and the size 145 kB. https://www.sketchengine.eu/wp-content/uploads/main-image-5.jpg
When I see the thumbnails (the quality 75, I tried also 50 and 5 and there was no difference) the thumbnails have the following sizes:
dimensions 1500×1000 – 414 kB
dimensions 1030×687 – 432 kB

It seems to me that it does not work because the sizes were preserved.

Hi,

I did not find the right format of notation or the code does not work.

The following notations do not work:

function av_return_100(){ return 60; }
 add_filter('jpeg_quality', 'av_return_100');
 add_filter('wp_editor_set_quality', 'av_return_100');

add_action('after_setup_theme', function() {
     function av_return_100(){ return 60; }
     add_filter('jpeg_quality', 'av_return_100');
     add_filter('wp_editor_set_quality', 'av_return_100');
});

This one works () but after regenerating thumbnails no changes.

function av_return_100(){ return 60;
     add_filter('jpeg_quality', 'av_return_100');
     add_filter('wp_editor_set_quality', 'av_return_100');
};

(I am not sure about it at all)

Can you please find a code which would have an effect?

Hi,

no changes happened. I am using the following code in our function.php file within the child folder of Enfold theme:

function av_return_100(){ return 60; }
add_filter('jpeg_quality', 'av_return_100');
add_filter('wp_editor_set_quality', 'av_return_100');

and I commented the following code in the functions-enfold.php file within the original folder of Enfold theme:

#if( ! function_exists( 'av_return_100' ) )
#{
#       /**
#       * Sets the default image to 100% quality for more beautiful images when used in conjunction with img optimization plugins
#       *
#       * @since 4.3
#       * @added_by Kriesi
#       */
#       function av_return_100(){ return 100; }
#       add_filter('jpeg_quality', 'av_return_100');
#       add_filter('wp_editor_set_quality', 'av_return_100');
#}

How can I do so that it works?

Just by clicking on the Regenerate thumbnails button for the image https://www.sketchengine.eu/wp-content/uploads/main-image-5.jpg

Sorry, I have just re-uploaded the following file https://www.sketchengine.eu/wp-content/uploads/search_form_ruskell.png (1162×202; 27 kB) but when I look at its thumbnail https://www.sketchengine.eu/wp-content/uploads/search_form_ruskell-768×134.png it has 60 kB. I am using the code above in the following format:

function av_return_100(){ return 75;
     add_filter('jpeg_quality', 'av_return_100');
     add_filter('wp_editor_set_quality', 'av_return_100');
};

I cannot see that it will work properly.
