Me too. Installed this and it doesn’t work. Be interested to know if there are some settings the hosting company maybe be doing to override something
Same feedback as previous comments. If useful, I’ve tested it on a WP Engine site and Rocket.net site; both times the test image said “Cimo did not optimize this attachment” in the media edit view.
Hi @alyxp ,
To investigate this further, we would need to check your site and observe the issue directly. Kindly reach out to us by sending a support ticket to [email protected], and we’ll assist you from there.
Hey @alyxp, @junior-mint and @christinablust version 1.2.3 fixes some issues with dropped images not being converted and optimized. Please update to version 1.2.3 and see if that fixes the issue!
Hi @bfintal — thanks for the fix! Version 1.2.3 has been running on our client’s site for a week or so now and has optimized some of the uploaded images perfectly.
However, we wanted to let you know that it does still seem to occasionally miss images here and there, in no discernible pattern. For instance, in the Media Library you’ll see in the list situations like this:
- Img12.webp (optimized)
- Img13.jpg (not touched)
- Img14.webp (optimized)
- Img15.webp (optimized) etc.
Does this mean that Cimo is still dropping images sometimes…? Or is the expected behavior that not all get optimized?
Thanks for the report @christinablust! Glad it’s working now!
Yes this is expected behavior. There’s a chance that optimized image results in a bigger filesize especially when Cimo is set to only optimize without any resizing settings. This doesn’t happen a lot, but we noticed it really depends on the image and the quality setting (by default we set it to 80% quality), there’s a small overlap between the JPG and WEBP compression algorithms where at just the right image, the JPG can still have a smaller filesize. This may happen more if the image was already optimized prior to uploading. In those scenarios where the resulting WEBP file is bigger, Cimo just lets the original image go through.
However, we are working on what we call “smart optimization” that would further increase optimization rates and would visually yield the best optimized version.
