 * Anyone run across this issue? I just updated to 3.7, and Google Page Speed results
   have dropped to 45% from 83% – a definite fail. I have changed nothing but the
   WP version. I’m concerned about Google’s impression of my site now due to slower
   results. Any ideas?

 * One of my sites has a 99/100 Page Speed ranking so I doubt it’s related to the
   upgrade. If you’d like you can post your URL and plugins you have installed. 
   The community might be able to help out.

 * happy for you
    I achieved prior results with plugins I have presently like I 
   said, all that is different is the version of WordPress

 * What does Google Page Speed say to improve? Minify, compression, image optimization
   and most of the other categories depend on your theme and server settings.

 * Sorry Patrick, frustrated. It suggests “Serve scaled images”
    My load time has
   increased also

 * If your score is 45% from not serving scaled images then I would assume your 
   images must be huge? I know that Insights takes this factor into high priority.
   This scaled image issue is something your theme or image plugins would optimize.
   Without a link to your site it’s hard to see exactly what’s going on. Please

 * the image thing wasn’t an issue with 3.6.1
    my settings are 150×150 cropped 300
   ×300 medium 800×800 large

 * The PageSpeed Insights results says you should compress your images. This has
   nothing to do with “serve scaled images.” This means that your images are bigger
   in file size than they need to be. A 75kb image could be 23kb, etc.
 * Also, on desktop your home page gets a 72/100 as of now. You may want to address
   the other issues first, I think they will have a bigger impact on loading time.
