Plugin not working (NGINX)

Hello, my friend,

Specifically in Nginx the path /wp-content/plugins/adaptive-images/adaptive-images-script.php; might vary depending on your server setup. Unfortunately there is no global solution there. Can you make sure that you have entered the correct path for your setup?

Also, if you want to quickly test if the plugin is working just add ?debug=true at the end of an image url like this: http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/image.jpg?debug=true. The output of such a request should be some debugging text output that explains how the Adaptive Images plugin will handle the image.

Let me know how it goes!

Cheers
Takis

Hello, again,

I am glad you could make things work!

Now, I am not an NginX expert, so I can’t quite follow why the original configuration

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    rewrite \.(?:jpe?g|gif|png)$ /wp-content/plugins/adaptive-images/adaptive-images-script.php;
}

did not work, but this one did

location ~ /wp-content/(themes|uploads) {
    rewrite \.(?:jpe?g|gif|png)$ /wp-content/plugins/adaptive-images/adaptive-images-script.php;
}

but I will keep this here for future reference for other NginX users.

Cheers,
Takis

Hello, my friend,

Pagespeed is only proposing some general good practices without actually running your website. It reads and analyses your HTML alright, but it is unable to see that, when an image is requested by a smaller device, it will be server transparently in a smaller size. However, Google Analytics will see that the page loads a lot faster and, hopefully, your users will appreciate this and stay on your page more or make more conversions.

In any case, for real performance testing I recommend a tool like http://webpagetest.org/, one that uses actual devices with actual browsers and under real network conditions.

Cheers,
Takis
