 * Hi,
 * Been using Hummingbird for quite some time now, although something just seems
   a bit odd recently!
 * I’ve always had around a 85-94 score on the Performance Score although now there’s
   one image which can be reduced by a further 101KB which has now tanked my score
   to 66.
 * What I’m after is, what is the algorithms you use to determine the score? I find
   it quite hard to believe that a 101KB reduction would take the score down by 
   a third.
 * Can’t even reduce the image further as WP Smush says there’s no more optimisations
   to make 🙁
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fperformance-test-score-benchmark%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@michaeleasycount](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaeleasycount/),
 * Hummingbird is using the Google PageSpeed tests to calculate the score.
 * From what I can see now, it seems you have a dynamic javascript file that has
   no gzip compression. I would recommend going over your theme settings and checking
   to see if there are any optimization options there.
 * Regarding images. I see that a lot of the images do not fit the container they
   are placed in. For example, EasyCount-GIF-Final-Web.gif is resized in HTML or
   CSS from 634×1080 to 272×463. You would need to set proper thumbnail sizes in
   your theme to properly resize images.
 * The Optimize images section is recommending to compress png images. If you are
   not using transparency, it is recommended to convert png to jpg.
 * Best regards,
    Anton

 * Hi Anton,
 * Thanks for the informative response – I’ll try these two suggestions out!
 * Just quickly, how can I view what images don’t fit their container? I could only
   find one on the homepage.

 * Hello [@michaeleasycount](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaeleasycount/),

 * You can either use our Smush plugin:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/)
   that provides a “Detect and show incorrectly sized images” option [https://monosnap.com/file/QMMREPPzbHOfzJtDqOfN6osglFq8du](https://monosnap.com/file/QMMREPPzbHOfzJtDqOfN6osglFq8du)
 * or use the “manual” way via browser’s dev tools:
    [https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/)

 * Warm regards,
    Dimitris
