I’m having similar issues lately. I’m on Site5 for hosting and they say everything looks good on their end.

WordPress also has created multiple duplicate images that are undoubtedly slowing my site’s speed, and hogging resources, but the plugins to delete them like DNUI don’t work. Grrr! I need to fix this slow loading stuff.

The duplicated images thing is not limited to this plugin. I do not have it but I still have thousands of duplicates. This is a problem within WP itself and incredibly irritating. What’s worse is plugins like DNUI are not removing the extras.

I need to find a way to bulk delete the unused ones, or it’ll ake me forever to go through and wipe them all! WP also needs to stop creating all these duplicates unless you tell it to. I don’t need 10 copies of each photo which is what it seems like I have!

I am also having this problem at CraftyFrugalMom.com.

My page speed tests were atrocious, at 11 for mobile and 14 for desktop. Smushing a lot of my images made it jump to 38 mobile, 42 desktop, but I’m on 323 of 554 and it stopped smushing. I tell it to smush again and it sits there a while saying it’s smushing, then reverts back to the smush button without doing anything. Please help me get past this one image or figure out which one it is and move forward to the rest of them.

I’m not sure, but I’d guess maybe it’s an image that’s larger than the free version will handle, but if that’s the case it should really just get skipped.

I would appreciate help in resolving this issue. I want to get my speed test results to at least 80 or more if possible!

Yes, I wasn’t using that exact post but I did exactly what it says. The domain name did not change so it should have worked. I just find it bizarre that all content appears in dashboard but not on the site.

Thanks. I will try looking at that site. I’ll also see if calling makes any more difference, although considering they’ve gone 2 months without responding to email, that is still unacceptable. That is still part of providing good support. I am investigating other possible hosts. I’ll see what ManageWP can do too. Thanks.

There are two problems with that.

1. Most of the plugins I have found only backup the database. They don’t say anything about being able to back up the entire installation.

2. Most of the plugins I have found have either not been updated in over a year or are written by users with badly broken English, so that I cannot understand how they are meant to be used. Nonetheless, all of the ones I have found so far say they are untested on my version. The latest ones I’ve seen go up to WP3.9.

If you know of a reliable one that can back up the entire installation, is written in clean, readable English, and works with the latest version of WordPress, I’d be happy to take suggestions.
