Shows them being displayed at 300×225. So I re-saved the photoshop image with the exact same dimensions 300×225. Uploaded it, ran shortpixel and still shows up on Page speed tools under not being fully optimized. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/a/6Fru4) * All the other ones I was having trouble with I got off the list by using shitty quality, the compression thing from your site. * So I don’t know what I could possibly be doing wrong… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Improving load speed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/) * Thread Starter [iromprey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iromprey/) * (@iromprey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/page/2/#post-9483195) * I’ve been trying different things, did what you suggested j09. I thought I had it all figured out and then I set them to featured image on my posts and there they were again on page speed tools. * I made the width 300px for all my images at first, then I tried 240px after looking at the image you linked again showing them to be 240×180. No luck there either, I’ve tried so many things I don’t even know what to do at this point. Also deleted the cache with WP super cache every new time I tried with the smaller saved images. And I just empty the cache with Autoptimze, Not sure if there’s a difference. I’m so noob at this shit it’s not even funny hahahaha… Another thing I should mention, every new upload when I go to EWW to bulk it says “there are no images to optimize” is that because it already optimizes them after uploading? or my settings? I select the box “Force Optimize” and it re optimizes my 270 images, I don’t know whats going on there either. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Improving load speed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/) * Thread Starter [iromprey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iromprey/) * (@iromprey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/#post-9477965) * Woah short pixel responded :O Um, I mean I don’t know honestly Alex. I just noticed the image that was 44kb after uploading to short pixel was the only one that didn’t get flagged as unoptimized on page tools. Having a bunch of problems, really doing everything I can to find a solution. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Improving load speed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/) * Thread Starter [iromprey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iromprey/) * (@iromprey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/#post-9474666) * Used a website called shortpixel, Thought I fixed all of them. Turns out I did on Mobile, accidently didn’t look at desktop till after. For some reason, doing the same method to all of them and only 2 of them didn’t appear on page tools. Noticed the one that didn’t appear was a file size of 44KB while the rest were above 50. * Sidenote, tried again with the image I downloaded from shortpixel and it made it even less KB, when opening it its banannas quality though.. ffs this is insane I need to find a way to make them less than 44kb, I don’t even know anymore.. Gonna post on the theme support I guess still * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Improving load speed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/) * Thread Starter [iromprey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iromprey/) * (@iromprey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/#post-9474635) * deleted my cach, renamed the files. no luck man.. * After deleting them and re-uploading them to my media library, went to bulk optimize and it said there were no images to optimize * Clicked “Shown Optimized Images” and i noticed for some reason it has multiple different sizes of the images I was using for my blog posts (the one I am having trouble with) Not sure if that’s normal or not.. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/a/80Fe0) * what support should I go to? I was going to say wordpress support but realized I am already here 0_0 lol… But maybe EWWW’s support or my theme’s support? Maybe I’ll make a thread on the theme support through wordpress.org. * Appreciate you trying to help me greatly though man, thank you very much. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Improving load speed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/) * Thread Starter [iromprey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iromprey/) * (@iromprey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/#post-9468175) * Did all my settings exactly to yours, changed the images I had set to PNG back to JPEG’s ran the regenerate plugin and then did the bulk optimize, no luck. Still showing up on Google’s site, Weirdly enough my bulk opti always stops like 5 images before the end. It never finishes bulk optimizing, not sure why. * Do you suggest I try going to EWW support? Or maybe my theme’s support line? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Improving load speed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/) * Thread Starter [iromprey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iromprey/) * (@iromprey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/#post-9465397) * [@j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/) I managed to get the site to 66/100 I was about to go into the EWW support and I was reading something online about PNG being more lossless (I have no idea) I’m all over the place as you can tell. I’m extremely new at all this, glad I’m learning a little bit though, this is some complex shit man, I salute you. I just basically changed all the images I had giving me problems to .PNG’s and somehow, someway, it worked. they were finally removed from the list on page speed tools. * I understand slightly what you’re talking about, basically, when the part of the page is not visible, like the content on the bottom of my page, it’s not being rendered. Making when it does get scrolled down to, it’s a bit slower. My best way to describe what you’re saying lol.. After reading what you said again I’m thinking everything I just said above is wrong.. And it has something to do with my header, I notice when I scroll down my header follows all the way to the down. I’m gonna be honest, I read the entire page you linked when I clicked Async/defer [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script) I honestly felt even more confused than before, this is insane I can definitely understand why people pay others to do this. If there’s any way I can fix this, or what you suggest I should do, or read up on maybe in more simple terms, for someone like me, I’m definitely open. I hate not knowing what any of this means, but I’m doing my best to understand and fix my problem. Thank you again, kindly. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Improving load speed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/) * Thread Starter [iromprey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iromprey/) * (@iromprey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/#post-9465326) * I did a bit of looking into which images are causing this, it seems like it’s my featured images for my blog posts and my two images for the “our focus” section on my theme. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/a/pACvk) * It appears it’s the images that are being forced into a smaller size, so I took one of the images from my focus section, inspected it and saw it said 100 x 100 on height and width. so I tried re uploading the same image with a size smaller than 100 x 100 and it still came up with page speed tools. Saw that on a website about my problem. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Improving load speed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/) * Thread Starter [iromprey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iromprey/) * (@iromprey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/#post-9465291) * [@j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/) Got you, I did the bulk optimization with Ewww. still showing I need to optimize images in page speed tools, should I look through the specific images listed on the details and do something to those? I appreciate you taking the time to assist me brotha, would be left in the dark without you haha. * What does this mean? “Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above- the-fold content” * about to do some reading into the WP super cache plugin. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Improving load speed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/) * Thread Starter [iromprey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iromprey/) * (@iromprey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-bettering-my-website-speed-and-loading-times/#post-9464911) * Thanks for the response [@j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/) working on it now, just downloaded autoptimize. For my images, do I need to reupload the same images after running them through compressor.io? Or should I just download Eww and let it optimize my files? Do I need to remove smush or I guess it won’t matter right? * I see what you mean with the caching, I was looking at a plugin called WP super cache. will that help me?

Its kinda weird the page entitled home on my pages is set to be my front page but it has no use really. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Some questions, use of contact form and more.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/some-questions-use-of-contact-form-and-more/) * Thread Starter [iromprey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iromprey/) * (@iromprey) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/some-questions-use-of-contact-form-and-more/#post-9303884) * Hey, yea I was looking into using Mailchimp for the subscriber list.

I deleted my old front home page and created a new home page called “new home page (test)” and set it as my frontpage. Clicked Visit site from the dashboard and it was still messed up, refreshed and it appeared to fix my problem… :O I nearly had a breakdown trying to figure this out my goodness.
