Title: Optimize Image Last modified: July 2, 2018 --- # Optimize Image * Resolved [imtino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imtino/) * (@imtino) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optimize-image-2/) * I already have the cache locally setting on. I am having issue with optimizing those images. Is that something I can fix? * Report from Pagespeed: * ``` Optimize images Properly formatting and compressing images can save many bytes of data. Optimize the following images to reduce their size by 10.2KiB (12% reduction). ``` Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optimize-image-2/#post-10456064) * LYTE just downloads the thumbnails as is from youtube and stores them without any opitmization. but some image optimizing plugins allow you to add directories that contain to-be-optimized images, so if you have one of those you could add` wp-content/cache/lyteThumbs/` and automatically optimize the local thumbnails? * hope this helps, frank * Thread Starter [imtino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imtino/) * (@imtino) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optimize-image-2/#post-10456143) * Awesome. Thank you. * By the way, do you know any good lazy load plugin for images that work well with Autoptimize and LYTE? Any recommendations? * Thread Starter [imtino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imtino/) * (@imtino) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optimize-image-2/#post-10456214) * How long does those images stay in the wp-content/cache/lyteThumbs/ directory? Can I manually optimized and upload it back in? * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optimize-image-2/#post-10456220) * well, LYTE’s images are loaded after DomContentLoaded + 750ms or at document load time (whichever comes first), so lazy-loading them would not yield a lot of performance-advantage. * with regards to lazyloading; I might add it to AO proper in 2.5 (it’s on my wishlist anyway), but until that happens you could try [https://wordpress.org/plugins/rocket-lazy-load/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rocket-lazy-load/)( haven’t tried it myself yet though)? * frank * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optimize-image-2/#post-10456226) * > How long does those images stay in the wp-content/cache/lyteThumbs/ directory? * until they are removed by someone (or something; wp super cache in some cases clears `wp-content/cache` entirely) * > Can I manually optimized and upload it back in? * yes, that should work. just be sure to keep the filename identical 🙂 * Thread Starter [imtino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imtino/) * (@imtino) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optimize-image-2/#post-10456236) * Wow, can wait for AO 2.5 with lazy load. I prefer to wait for it then to add another plugin on my WordPress install. Plus, if it built-in then there’s no conflict. * Thanks again. You’re the best! * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optimize-image-2/#post-10457067) * > can wait for AO 2.5 with lazy load. * you *could* wait, but 2.4 is yet to be released and work on 2.5 has not even started yet, I don’t have an ETA, but I’m pretty sure it won’t be released before end of this year/ early next year 🙂 * Thread Starter [imtino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imtino/) * (@imtino) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optimize-image-2/#post-10457217) * That does sound like a long wait. Maybe I will have to rethink it. hehe * By the way, AO already doing amazing job. I can’t imagine what else you can improve but of course there’s also room for improvement. I hope AO remain clean, lightweight and no bloat. * I love AO. All my WordPress has it installed. * I’ve dropped a lot of useful plugins over the years because they have became more and more bloated. * I am on my next dropped Yoast SEO, too many stuff on that plugin. * On the subject of Lazy Load, what’s your opinion on the SEO affect of it? I’ve read so many opinions. I think Google is smart enough now but what you do think? * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optimize-image-2/#post-10457855) * well, [you can read all about -and how to test- 2.4 here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autoptimize-2-4-coming-soon-need-your-help-to-test/). * 2.5 might have lazy load, might have automated critical CSS injection (based on [https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize-criticalcss/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize-criticalcss/)), might have HTTP/2 push, … lots to pick from 🙂 * Thread Starter [imtino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imtino/) * (@imtino) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optimize-image-2/#post-10458695) * Looking good. I will test it out. * As for 2.5, I am all for it. HTTP/2 not much matter because I did that through server side already. Lazy load and automated critical CSS is a much have, will makes life so much easier. - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [imtino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imtino/).
