PhastPress Support

Hi Valentine,

1. PhastPress takes care of the resizing dynamically and creates the requested size the moment it is first requested—and only when it is requested?

Correct. Image processing happens on the fly, as soon as an image is used.

2. PhastPress uses lossless optimization techniques and image quality will be exactly the same before and after the optimization?

The optimization is not entirely lossless, but there should be no detectable difference. Ie, there is some quality loss, but you can’t see it. (JPEG images are compressed at 80% quality, or converted to WebP at 80% quality. PNGs are compressed with pngquant with reduces the amount of colours in the image, but should not be visible for humans.)

3. With PhastPress can I go back if I’ll think the quality set is too much? The original images are not erased?

Yes. Images are not changed, due to the on-the-fly processing. So when you disable PhastPress, everything will be as it was before.

4. PhastPress will be work properly together with Regenerate Thumbnails by Alex Mills?

Yes.

Thanks for your interest in PhastPress. Good luck optimizing your site. If you have any problems, please let me know.

Albert, PhastPress will be work properly together with Hyper Cache, Autoptimize, PB SEO Friendly Images and Regenerate Thumbnails if we disable into PhastPress settings on https://kleinburd.ru/news all options exclude “PhastPress optimizations”, “Optimize images in tags” and “Optimize images in CSS”?

Hyper Cache should be OK, although I recommend using Automattic’s (the creator of WordPress) plugin WP Super Cache.

Autoptimize should not cause problems, but you do not need it if you are using PhastPress. Autoptimize does nothing that PhastPress doesn’t do better, and to keep things simple, I would recommend disabling it. However, if you want to use Autoptimize instead, try disabling all the options below HTML, CSS & JS in PhastPress.

PB SEO Friendly Images and Regenerate Thumbnails should be fine.

Good luck!

Albert, I disable Autoptimize, but PhastPress doesn’t work after that on https://kleinburd.ru/news all options enabled exclude “Only optimize for administrators” and “Let the world know about PhastPress”.

@kiboit Your account is now on moderation watch and I will review and redact all of your replies.

Here’s why. I’ve deleted your offer to login to your user’s site. I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please never ask for credentials on these forums.

https://www.ads-software.com/support/guidelines/#the-bad-stuff

Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.

If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided without warranty.

Please be aware that repeatedly asking for credentials will result in us asking you to repeatedly stop before escalating up to the plugins team.

It is not necessary for you to do that.

There are many ways to get information you need and accessing the user’s site is not one of them. That’s going too far.

• Ask for a link to the https://pastebin.com/ log of the user’s web server error log.
• Ask the user to create and post a link to their phpinfo(); output.
• Ask the user to install the Health Check plugin and get the data that way.
• Walk the user through enabling WP_DEBUG and how to log that output to a file and how to share that file.
• Walk the user through basic troubleshooting steps such and disabling all other plugins, clear their cache and cookies and try again.
• Ask the user for the step-by-step on how they can reproduce the problem.

You get the idea.

Volunteer support is not easy. But these forums need to a safe place for all users, experienced or new. Accessing their system that way is a short cut that will get you into real trouble in these forums.

Hi Albert,
I noticed that with PhastPress activated, the front end Divi pagebuilder won’t load. It’s just stuck on the loading spinner. Deactivating the plugin allows Divi to work again. The backend pagebuilder works fine with Phastpress activated. Is this something you are already familiar with?

Hi Sam,

Thanks for letting us know about that issue. I haven’t tested with Divi pagebuilder recently, so I’ll make a not of that and fix it in an upcoming release.
