Title: Question about set up Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Question about set up * Resolved [elames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elames/) * (@elames) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-set-up/) * I am not a web guru. I just installed this plug in and did a bulk optimization. I changed no settings. * Will this work properly with basic install? Or do I really have to go in and configure stuff I know nothing about.

The videos in the documentation are a bit outdated, but I’ve just recorded new ones for the upcoming 2.0 release: * [http://youtu.be/CLBjjcaJ2pw](http://youtu.be/CLBjjcaJ2pw) [http://youtu.be/1AvyVeE4kUo](http://youtu.be/1AvyVeE4kUo) * The first one is kind of long, so if you just want the basics, watch the first 5 minutes of the first video, but I recommend the whole second video (it isn’t quite as long anyway). * Thread Starter [elames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elames/) * (@elames) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-set-up/#post-5219188) * I started watching the first one and that was when I began to worry. Do I have to set up all of this stuff or is the default install ok to use? * I am not a techie person.

But when I do a Google Page Insights, my score is worse then when I started. It says I still need to optimize images? * I am using wp 3 cache as well. would that be an issue?

I can take a quick look if you want to post your website address. * Regarding the first setup video, the Basic settings are the most important ones: 1. Do you care about image metadata/exif information: -No, then turn on metadata stripping -Yes, then don’t -If you don’t know what it is, then you don’t care about it 2. Are you ok with sacrificing a tiny bit of quality for much better page speed: -Yes, then turn on the lossy options -No, leave them off Note: The tools we use are the best in the industry (that I’ve been able to find). Jpegmini won’t be available unless you have the beta version or wait until next week for the release of 2.0. * Anything else is for advanced users. * Thread Starter [elames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elames/) * (@elames) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-set-up/#post-5219237) * Thanks that is just what I wanted to know.:-) * Thread Starter [elames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elames/) * (@elames) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-set-up/#post-5219238) * Resolved thank you Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Question about set up’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/ewww-image-optimizer/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1582276) * [EWWW Image Optimizer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ewww-image-optimizer/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ewww-image-optimizer/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ewww-image-optimizer/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ewww-image-optimizer/reviews/) * 6 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [elames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elames/) * Last activity: [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-set-up/#post-5219238) * Status: resolved
