 * Hi –
 * I am using your plug in on the site I put together [http://www.safewaygroup.net](http://www.safewaygroup.net).
   I am looking for a way to speed up the background loading time.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Jess,
 * Ui, you really have a serious problem, your background is nearly 40 MB large 
   😉
 * Generally, compressing/optimizing images is out of the plugins scope, as this
   is a general problem.
 * Things should do:
    - Use JPG instead of PNG for photos, which really reduces the size.
    - Use small images, see if it is still okay to half the images size.
    - From within the plugin, when you select the image you can choose one of the
      sizes, try to avoid “Full Size”.
    - Lower the quality. Background images typically don’t need to be very detailed.
      Use JPG and try to use a low quality like 50%.
    - Use images as pattern, means use a small image which can be layed out like
      a better to build a large background.
    - Use some WordPress plugins to optimize images “on-the-fly”, like [EWWW](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/)
      and [Resize Image After Upload](https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/resize-image-after-upload/)
 * For simple tasks you could use the free [Paint.net](http://www.getpaint.net/index.html)
 * I hope this helps.
