 * Hi, is it possible to try the lossy compression this plugin offers somewhere?
   Or is it just “normal” jpg compression?

 * Hey there flow,
 * How are you doing today?
 * Lossy compression is available only in the premium version of the plugin by using
   Super-Smush which uses that specific compression so in case you’re using premium
   version you can try it out by going to Media -> WP Smush and checking Super-Smush
   Images option, see screenshot [http://screencast.com/t/cwpV6Bv3oPtN](http://screencast.com/t/cwpV6Bv3oPtN).
 * Otherwise the default one that is being used in the free version of the plugin
   is lossless.
 * If you have any additional questions please let me know 🙂
 * Best regards,
    Bojan

 * Hi Bojan,
 * I realize I can test it when I buy the plugin. But I would like to see the quality
   before I buy, like I can do with tinyjpg, zara4, jpegmini, etc.
 * Thing is, it’s very important that the image quality is high enough, and most
   engines I tried so far compress too much (there are some that are good though
   so i’ll def go with lossy – it’s just a matter of finding the one that has the
   best balance for us).
 * Thanks.
