WordPress bundle Smush – Lazy Load Images, Optimize & Compress Images

hey there this is Timothy West with another short video on this today where is going to be covering a plug-in called smush it to WP smush it and not what Billy piece much it does is it strips the metadata from your jpegs so for example in this is here I’m looking of smoky quartz it’s going to get rid of some of the data that’s in the background it’s going to optimize the jpeg compression and it’s going to convert gifts to index png’s lossless AAA the unused colors from the index images so basically every image you add to a page Repose will automatically run through some shit behind the scenes you don’t have to do anything differently just happens automatically and here’s the example I was just looking at least a while. Calm that you’ll take a look here and you’ll see that the percentage is it with some of these images were introduced this one here for example 65% you know some of them are only 10% but you know what that means that the savings on time and Google nowadays is taking a much stronger interest and ranking more

favor blade those websites that are loading more quickly so I would highly recommend you take a look at it when you install the plug-in it’s really simple I want you to install it you run the other folks much at 2 and you can run all my images through the wp switch it right now button at the end of it one of the other things that I noticed in the settings if you scroll down to watch media and you’ll notice that WP smoke you smoke shit on upload I’m going to just click on this and say automatically process on upload and save the changes and this means now that future images will automatically be uploaded and smushed or crushed or run is optimized for the website

here’s a quick a quick example of what I’m talking about click on add new grab an image throw it in and it will automatically as usual just upload it and once at upload is done play save all your changes

and there it is it’s reduced by 3.7% it did that automatically in the background saving you time and and if it’s if it’s done automatically that really really helped specially with with your own personal websites do you know it’s really important to keep your images as small as possible clear but as small as possible so you don’t have have negative impacts on the load times and Hip-Hop help us we have helped you have any other questions please don’t hesitate send me an email or visit my website Timothy west.com.
