Hello Marko,

Thanks for your response.

At the time of posting the scores were not as good as you found. Between then and your response, I did a lot of tinkering with your configuration as well as removing some plugins.

I also included some functions to defer all JS and non-critical CSS. The scores then improved (desktop to 90).

The site has become faster now on both mobile and desktop even though the scores are terrible today ie 56 for mobile and 86 for desktop.

I’ll keep monitoring and tinkering. 94% of my audience use mobile devices so I want to get that much faster.

Regards
Terry

Hi,

I did (and routinely do) read before I post. If there is no solution, I ask for help.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.
Everything has suddenly just resolved itself on the live site.
No explanation. But it works and I’m happy.

Hello Henning,

I was able to figure out the problem before you responded.

Terry

Hi Henning,

Thanks for your response. If I may explain further …

1) I first created image ads. The placement was in the content in all categories in the content after the 4th paragraph.

2) I then created an ad group containing the above ads to rotate randomly and also placed them in the content in all categories in the content after the 4th paragraph.

The result is that one ad from the ad group is showing up plus each of the individual ads in that group. I have three in the group so I have four ads on the page.

Therefore, when creating the individual ads (to be part of the ad group), should I ignore the placement?

Hi Gerard,

That was one of the things that was checked first. GD is installed on the server. I can send you detailed server specs if you think that might help?

Terry

Hi Hari,

It is indeed resolved. The solution worked.

Regards and Happy New Year
Terry

Hi Gerard,

Further to our offline communications, in which I asked you to hold on sending to your developers until my server company has carried out more checks to eliminate the server as an issue, they’ve carried out exhaustive checks and kept an eye on the error logs and have turned up no errors when using your plugin.

If it is helpful this is the information from the Site Health report. In the meantime Merry Christmas to the team and I’ll pick this up next year.

Hi,

1. My server company checked the error logs and I carried out a number of tests at their requests to record errors for troubleshooting. The only error they turned up was the original error that I posted. They increased memory limits to the maximum allowable. they confirm that there re no memory constraints outside of PHP.

They’ve concluded: “I believe that the best bet would be to pursue this further with the plugin developers, perhaps asking if there are any further system requirements or server configurations that you should be aware of.”

2. I checked the Site Health and it shows the following:
Server architecture Linux 2.6.32-754.24.3.el6.x86_64 x86_64
Web server Apache/2.4.41 (Unix)

The error message the plugin is showing is: “Imsanity was unable to resize this image for the following reason: File is not an image.. If you continue to see this error message, you may need to install missing server components. If you think you have discovered a bug, please report it on the Imsanity support forum: https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/imsanity”

Thanks

Hi nosilver4u,

Thanks for your reply.

Memory does not appear to be the problem. My server is running:
upload_max_filesize = 256M
post_max_size = 256M
memory_limit = 512M

I am running WP 5.3 and PHP 7.2.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
Terry

Okay. This then is not the plugin for me.

Thanks

Hi,

Last year when I used this plugin on another site, it would reduce the file size from, say, 10MB to less than 500k.

This yeear on a newly installed site, it does not do it with every image. From a gallery of images that I was creating it reduce maybe 75% of the images became smaller.

I have the max dimensions set to 1200px.

By resizing does it also not reduce the size of the file …. or am I thinking about another plugin?

Terry

Sorry. The plugin was too problematic so I deactivated it.

See https://www.terryally.com/wp3/ (test site).

The problem is occurring on mobile phones.

It would appear that this plugin needs some additional work. In the meantime, I found the following which are useful – especially the first one:
