wordpress 3.8 new optimize image problem

    I have websites running older version of WordPress and with GtMetrix if it says an image can be optimized I upload the optimized image and all is well.

    But with my WordPress 3.8 it still keeps saying I need to optimize, I have tried it on different websites with different themes, all plugins deactivated and the people at GtMetrix says its probably a cms issue.

    Tried doing this for 3 days and never had this problem before using 3.8.

    I usually use Photoshop and have never got asked to optimize my images again until wordpress 3.8.

    Please help as I want my images to show as optimized as they are, in fact I ended up over optimizing them and the pictures look blotchy and still I get told they are not optimized enough.

    I have no wish to be told forget page speed as Google certainly thinks its important and I want my clients to have a good experience.

    Please help

  • Can you show us an example? Site link? What format are the images? How are you including them? What version of PHP is in use? What image library?

    Thanks,

    Main site I am working on is: Strategic

    The images are jpg, I upload to media library and then add to the front page (happens on all pages though).

    How can I tell what version of .php? I am with hostgator.

    I would like to install wordpress 3.7 to see if it changes things but dont know how to do that.

    In case it helps I am using one free theme called NewsFrame and one premium from themeforest called Bangkok both sites are 3.8 wordpress.

    I did have EWWW Image Optimizer installed but it keeps saying now that it cant make any savings, so its deactivated now like all my other plugins.

    I am going to close this thread, as I activated only one plugin EWWW Image optimiser and on one site it optimized the four images I had problems with and on the other site it did 3 and could not do one as it was already optimized I am happy with that for now.

    Moving on to fine tune my other problems now.
