Hi Nugriel,
Do you mind sharing your website with us? Sometimes it happens that theme specific images are not compressed as they are in different folder than the uploaded images. We can check that for you if that is the case!
That said it’s most likely due to Google recently changing their page speed tool to suggest aggressive image optimisations.
Although of course it is possible to compress images more aggressively than what TinyPNG and TinyJPG do, the quality tends to suffer. Our image optimisation is intended to automatically determine an optimal balance between quality and size.
We do plan to look at our JPEG compression algorithms this year, to see if we can tune the optimisation to return smaller images in cases where it doesn’t harm the output quality.
Hope this helps understand the results given by Google.
Hey @tinypng,
thank you for your answer.
These weren’t theme specific images, these were content images from /wp-content/uploads
We already replaced them manually via ftp so there is no point in checking the site now.
Glad to know that it’s not you who made a bad change in a plugin, that it’s Google who changed their algorithms.
My suggestion is, that it would be cool if you could add a lossy compression option though, to satisfy the big G for the time being.
Hi Nurgiel,
TinyPNG actually already makes use of lossy compression.
In any case if you have any further questions or comments please don’t hesitate to contact us again!
