I also noticed that changing a PNG to jpg provides over 90% compression on the ‘full’ image, getting them down to a 100-200kb size.
Why isn’t this level of file resizing happening with a standard jpg compression?
Thanks

Since writing I found this in the override options..

EWWW_IMAGE_OPTIMIZER_JPG_LEVEL?– (0, 10, 20, 30, 40) A zero is no compression, level 10 is Pixel Perfect (lossless), level 20 is Pixel Perfect Plus (lossless via API), level 30 is Premium (lossy), and level 40 is Premium Plus (maximum lossy).

However, the maximum compression I can get on the ‘full’ image is 5%.
Upping the value from level 10 to level 40 only increases the compression by 2%… I even tried higher numbers up to 80, it made no difference.

So a 1.8mb image remains at 1.7mb, it’s something, but it’s not going to make a noticeable difference to page load times.

Is there not a way to force compression rates higher than 5% on the largest images?
Thanks

You know what, I think I was looking at the wrong post type. Have added different post types to the Author section and all now visible again in post editor.

This plugin no longer working for me either.. Author options do not show up on the right hand side of the screen when creating posts any more..
