Background images not ‘imagified’ ?

    Hello,

    I’ve build with Elementor, and the first section of homepage has an image as background. The media library and google insights say it weight 423KB as a ‘common’ jpg. The “box” of Imagify says 229KB + WebP, why doesn’it apply to the pic inline ?
    I also have a decrease in quality (process “normal”), as well as with saturation as lack of details… Not what I’d epexct (it’ the first image you see when coming on the site).

    Anyway, for most of the images, thumbnails and partially galery (not enough quota with plan I’ve yet), it seems to wok well.

    Thanks for yourhelp !

    Hi @lsphoto

    The size of 229kB is WebP size. I guess you use picture tag method to display WebP, as it will not work for background images. It seems to be a case here.

    You might consider using rewrite rules method as it would fetch background images as well. The only thing to have in mind is that it would not work with CDN/Cloudflare.

    About the image quality issue, if it happens even when using Normal compression level, can you activate “Keep EXIF data” option in Imagify settings and let me know if it looks better?

    If not, can you send us the problematic image (not optimized) so we could check it?

    Best Regards

    Hi, thanks for your reply !

    If you mean by ‘tag method’ the <picture> method instead of make changes to .htaccess, yes, it’s the case. I don’t use CDN.

    About the quality, I already keep the metadata (exifs). Where can I send you the picture please ? With a calibrated screen, I can see a big difference (I can imagine most people not, but photographer well…). As well with saturation (it’s a sunset), and with a (big) loss in details (sand, even two (far away) little persons are ‘blured’..

    Tahnks for your support !

    Hello @wp_media

    Could you please give me the right mail to send you the image for quality loss ?
    I’ve double checked with a test with you online tool, primary redimentionned to 1200px (big side) and compressed to 85% in Photoshop, and exported as sRGB jpg file.
    When I do use of your “compare before/after”, it’s the same result, lack of details (shadows get faded..), loss of saturation are the biggest issues.
    In Imagify, treated as “Normal”, with exifs.

    (and so no other solution for background images?)

    Thank you !
