 * Hello,
 * Thank you for his plugin and I appreciate the features the free version offers.
   I would appreciate some guidance on optimizing performance based on Google page
   speed insights for this plugin:
 * Compressing images – Google identified a few images in my gallery that needed
   compression. I inted to use WP SMUSH plugin to compress them however since the
   images in Gallery are in a different folder other than the WP media library, 
   WP SMUSH does not compress these. Is there a way to use images from my WP media
   library in the gallery instead of uploading to/having those images in the Gallery
   custom folder?

 * Also:
    Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content–
   The following render blocking resources were identified by Page speed for above
   the fold content. I do not have any Gallery in my above the fold content: /js/
   bwg_frontend.js?ver=1.3.13 /js/jquery.sumoselect.min.js?ver=1.3.13 /js/jquery.
   mobile.js?ver=1.3.13 …CustomScrollbar.concat.min.js?ver=1.3.13 /js/jquery.fullscreen-
   0.4.1.js?ver=0.4.1 /js/bwg_gallery_box.js?ver=1.3.13 /css/bwg_frontend.css?ver
   =1.3.13 /css/sumoselect.css?ver=1.3.13 font-awesome/font-awesome.css?ver=4.6.3/
   jquery.mCustomScrollbar.css?ver=1.3.13
 * Can these be deferred or loaded asynchronously?

 * At the moment none of the options are available. We are already working on making
   the images compressed without alternative plugins for this. As for the second
   one, it will require lots of structural changes and will come with one of late
   updates this year. Thanks.
