Google PSI moaning about uncompressed pictures

    Hi,

    we are using your plugin with an HQ License. So far it worked great. Unfortunately it didn’t (sufficiently) compress the pictures on one of our landingpages (see link) according to Google PSI. It’s not about the size of the pictures, only about the compression. All pictures are supposedly compressable by 50% more. Yet, there are “0/0 pictures” to compress in the bulk compressing menu of the plugin.
    The blog is a Multisite setup.

    Can you please have a look what happened?

    Thank you in advance.

    Can you check in your media library what sort of size savings percentages Optimus is showing for those images? I just took one of the images Google is complaining about and was able to optimize it by 49% with Optimus.

    Were you previously using the free version and after having optimized some images you upgraded to the HQ version?

    I checked it and there is nothing being shown by optimus at all. It seems the whole plugin doesn’t work anymore. I already tried deactivating and reactivating, as well as pasting the license key again – although it says it’s activated till 2018/12/14 – without success.

    Maybe we used the plugin as the free version before. Basically you have to install it in the free variant before activating it. We are definitely using the plugin incl. the license on our test system as well. It seems to be the same issue there.

    Do you see the Optimus column when viewing your media library in list mode (not grid mode). If not, please check that Optimus is selected under screen options.

    Ok, now I see it. The values roam around 30-64% for the queried pictures.

    If we take one image, let’s say: https://www.aveato.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Schweizer-Fond%C3%BC-1100×734.jpg what is the percentage in size reduction Optimus is showing for that image in your site’s media library?

    It says 62%, although this only shows for the main picture https://www.aveato.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Schweizer-Fondü.jpg with 2996×2000px. The resized variants are not listed.

    Can you try running one of your images through the regenerate thumbnails plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ and then re-optimizing that image to see if that solves the issue? This issue can occur if you tried optimizing images with the free version however Optimus wasn’t able to optimize all variations of the image due to size restrictions.

    Yes, that worked. Although we never tried optimizing images with the free version on the live system.

    Could you add an option to your plugin to reoptimize images manually for these types of issues?

    Actually no. We just uploaded these pictures a few days ago, months after we installed and activated the plugin, since this is a new landing page.
    So I assume the plugin doesn’t work right now for newly added images. Is there any other solution you can offer? Regenerating thumbnails each time isn’t really handy.

    What is also strange is that the image https://www.aveato.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Schweizer-Fondü.jpg shows 62% on our live system. Uploading it to our test system (exactly the same environment) it shows only 49%. Regenerating the thumbnails and reoptimizing the image still shows 49%.

    Ok, I just did using the General Inquiry Form.
