 * Hi all,
 * I’m looking for a solution for a performance issue I have in my website:
    Our
   website is a marketplace, where users sell their stuff. Every image they upload(
   ~3MB) takes ages to be saved in the system. The image upload time is about 20secs!!!
 * I’m wondering if tinypng provide solution for that part as well?

 * Hi!
 * Thank you for reaching out to us! There could be a number of reasons for uploading
   images to be slow. If you already have plugins that compress newly uploaded images
   but are not doing it in the background then that could explain the image upload
   time being so high. With the Tinify plugin you can enable background compression
   so that the user doesn’t have to wait for the compression while they are uploading
   the image.
 * If you don’t have any plugins interacting with the images during the upload process
   and uploading is slow even for users on a fast connection then perhaps it’s worth
   reaching out to your hosting provider if there’s anything causing the slowness
   with file uploads on their end.
 * A good way to test it would be to create a copy of your website where you can
   test without breaking anything, and then disabling every single plugin you can.
   If uploads are way faster then enable the plugins one at a time, each time testing
   if uploads are slow again. Once it’s slow again you know that the last plugin
   you enabled is the culprit.
 * Just installing the TinyPNG plugin will not magically make the upload process
   faster, all we promise is that it won’t make it slower — and viewing the images
   on the website will be much faster because of the compression process.
 * If you would like some more help or information please don’t hesitate to send
   a more detailed email to [support@tinify.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploading-time/support@tinify.com?output_format=md).
 * Have a great day!
