 * So on the Smush settings, it says all images are optimized. But when I run the
   page through Pagespeed Insights, it shows that they’re not optimized, they’re
   still too big in file size.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fimages-not-optimizing-6%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thank you for using Smush! While smush will allow you to set a max size and width,
   it does not have an option for creating images to an exact dimension. If Google
   says your images are still not optimized, it could be because you did not scale
   the images to fit the theme container. I looked at one of your images and it 
   was more than 2x the container size. Scaling the images before uploading theme
   will help resolve this issue.
 * Let us know how it goes!
