    Hi,

    pagespeed-insights tells me, that I have to resize and optimize my images. As an example I copied a line from the statement, that tells me to reduce the image-size of a file by 56,5 kb. The original image itself has only 65kb, so that the image would have a significant loss in quality if I reduce this.

    That means, that Pagespeed-Insights tells me, that the theme uses (depending on the screen-size) the original sized picture, reduced only by the file size (in HTML) without compression, instead of using a lower sized (and already existing and optimized, but not optimal) picture of the same quality.

    All of my pictures are already optimized by using “EWWW Image Optimizer” plugin.

    Is there a way to fix this?

    Regards
    Manu

    Hey Manuel!

    Your image sizes look fine to me. Your image of the water and storm is 263KB. I would try resizing that down to 1500 x ? at least. It will still look good and will reduce the filesize quite a bit.

    Cheers!

    Hey!

    I wouldn’t worry about that. I think it’s just saying to do that since your using 3 columns there and it thinks you could use smaller images in that space. What would happen if you decided to use 2 columns though? You might see some loss of quality. If you absolutely must change it then you could try reducing the resize dimensions around line 125 in the /enfold/functions.php file.

    What you can do though is install a caching plugin such as W3 total cache or WP Supercache. A minify plugin such as BWP minify would help as well. Those are the best options for optimizing a WordPress site.

    Best regards,
    Elliott
