 * Hello,
 * First, thank you for this plugin, it is exactly what I was looking for. I have
   made the decision to go with image quality over loading speed for my website.
   However, after installing, I ran some tests and not only does compression still
   seem to be active but actually more aggressive.
 * I did a test with a jpeg file.
 * Original = 48.9 KB
    Former upload of same file (pre-plugin) = 44.0 KB Original(
   48.9 KB) file renamed and re-uploaded (with plugin) = 40.0 KB
 * As you can see, WordPress compressed by the standard 10% without the plugin. 
   But the file was compressed by 20% once I added the plugin, and the image quality
   was noticeably lower when using the plugin. This seemed to have the opposite 
   effect. Am I doing something wrong? Your help is much appreciated.
 * Thank you,
    Mike

 * Hi Mike, did you happen to find a plugin that does remove WordPress’ compression
   entirely? I’ve tried this one to the same results as you.

 * [@kittenhood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kittenhood/), can you share
   your results please?
    Also, can you post the images you’ve tested with the plugin?

 * Hi kittenhood, no I did not find an alternative. So, my resolution has been to
   use PNGs whenever practical, and when JPEGs are necessary I simply create those
   files with the compression settings at the absolute minimum. That is not an ideal
   solution but it is a step closer to my goal of offering the cleanest images.
