Hi there.
Hoping someone can look at my site and let me know why since the last update, my blog and gallery pages load really slow. Sometimes it seems as if nothing is even happening?
I’ll send login info in private

This is because your images are large. Please use an image optimization plugin like WP Smush.it or optimize your images before uploading.
Thanks.
what are the sizes you’d recommend? Most of them I’m resizing and saving for web in photoshop to reduce the quality?
Also i believe my wordpress site is set to reduce image uploaded sizes as well?
Hi Megan,
Sorry for the confusion, we mean the image file size ( eg. 100kb, 80kb, 2mb, etc. ) and not the image dimension (WxH). Any size could be compressed to make loading faster. And yes, wordpress changes sizes (WxH) but it will not compress it’s file size.
Please check this too http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/dwv5KH/http://www.apexautosports.com/ (7mb) you should see on what aspect it is slow. On my end, connecting (blue) is slow which almost like a second per request.
On this area too http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/cyZHZK/http://www.apexautosports.com/galleries/completed/ (10mb) it looks like your having delayed connection from server to client/browser. It’s much larger that processing and receiving time.
Could you check this? https://theme.co/x/member/kb/performance/ You probably need a CDN.
Thanks!

There is no recommended dimension and quality as requirements differs from website to website. Resolution also depends on your need but I would recommend images not higher than 1080p. Also optimize your images before you upload them to the web. See the links below for more details

The login you have provided is not working.
Can you please check again.Please bear in mind that the images optimization will reduce the quality of your image.
Can you provide a link to your original images.
Thanks

I checked the blog are and images are properly cropped with good quality. Not sure what’s the current issue.
Would you mind showing it from your screenshot?
Thanks!
Ok I was unable to locate those exact files for you to compare, I was trying jpegmini per your suggestion and I left it on overwrite originals so they’re gone…
So
If you login, I added a new draft post, its the most current one called: Testing images4-NEW
If you look at that preview, then look at the tiny pic uploaded image (here: http://tinypic.com/r/2mh5sog/8 ) you can clearly see the clarity difference even though they’re they exact same image.I also am linking you here to just screenshots from my computer of both.
Pic of screenshot of the picture uploaded to tiny pic – http://tinypic.com/r/avrkno/8
Pic of screenshot of the picture on my website – http://tinypic.com/m/infod0/1The text is hardly readable on my post image, but everything is clear on the tiny pic upload.
I hope you can see what I mean!
Thanks for your help 🙂Hi there,
Please check your image http://www.apexautosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_10242_new-847×635.jpg.
I can’t find any difference between the one you uploaded with the one used in post.
Can you confirm that?
Thanks.
No they are different.
I actually just think I might have figured something out…The image I uploaded was called –> img_10242_new.jpg and The image size is 1280×960
The image the post is displaying is called —> mg_10242_new-847×635.jpgSomething is reducing the image size down to 847×635… but what?
