Hummingbird -0 Score +} Images compressed but not showing?

Hi there,

My client site:

http://www.coffeeandkin.co.uk

I have run a hummingbird test with zero results, plus I’ve also run the image compression and its still stating this needs to be done?

Can you please advise – THANKS!

    Hi Wayne,

    Hope you’re doing well.

    I checked your site stats and it seems like most of the image reports are related to your full size images.

    In order to optimize these images you need to enable “Smush my original full-size images” option in Smush settings, so please check if that is active.

    Other reports are related to your Instagram feed which is showing images pulled from external server and there’s unfortunately nothing you can do in order to optimize these.

    Would you mind allowing support access so we can have a closer look at your Hummingbird settings?

    To enable support access you can follow this guide here:

    Hi Wayne,

    Thanks for granting access.

    It seems that your site having issues with returning proper results from Hummingbird and Google Page Speed test, it might be worth checking with your host if there’s anything in server logs that could tell you more about what’s going on.

    I checked your WP Smush options and I can see that your original images are indeed not being optimized and that you’re also not using Super-Smush for lossy optimization.

    This is more aggressive than default losless compression and in some cases it can affect image quality but in most cases it’s not visible at all.

    I would suggest that you enable the option to store backups of your original images and then run new optimization with original image included as well as Super-Smush option enabled.

    Other things that can be included is combining and changing loading position of your files.

    You can do this by going to Hummingbird > Minification panel and enable advanced mode.

    Note that advanced mode is more difficult to configure and some theme/plugin files might not properly work when combined so make sure to check your site frontend after making changes in advanced mode.

    Best regards,

    Hi Wayne,

    Let me start with your second questions as it has shorter answer :slight_smile:

    SORRY WE ARE GETTING TIME OUT ERRORS:

    [26-Feb-2018 12:54:25 UTC] The WC_Cart::get_item_data function is deprecated since version 3.3. Replace with wc_get_formatted_cart_item_data.

    Can you tell me where exactly you are seeing this?

    This seems to be due to deprecated Woocommerce function being used somewhere, if your theme uses custom templates for Woocommerce that could be what’s causing it and it would be worth checking it further to make fully compatible with latest version.

    About the reports for hilton-media.info site, page speed test has two reports for image optimization:

    1. Compressing – This one’s is telling that image can be optimized, and on your site this report is specific only to 150×50 thumbnails.

    Can you go to WP Smush panel and check if this thumbnail is included in optimization?

    2. Compressing and resizing – This tells us that image is larger than its actual HTML holder and what is mostly show in the report.

    This report is showing when your image is larger than the actual image holder on page.

    For example, if you hover on your Footwear menu it will show image of a shoe on right side and the image loaded is 600×600 pixels, while the wrapper of that image is only 293×293.

    This means that the image is almost the double in size than it’s required so speed report is showing it.

    Another example is logos under the slider, Work Sharp logo for example is loading 250×139 image while the holder is 108×60 pixels.

    Unfortunately this is not something Smush can deal with since the theme or plugin code is written in the way to call the larger image, and even though the image is optimized the size is incorrect and it will show up in reports, so this is something you need to check with developers of the theme or plugin thats used for adding those images.
