WP Rocket with Symbiostock

[Randy SchwartzParticipant]

Hi
I’ve read a few have used WP Rocket on their Symbio sites. Does anyone have recommended ideal settings to use? Also should Imagify by used on a stock a photo site? Lastly do you recommend disabling WordPress’s default image compression?

Thanks for any consideration
Randy

Old post but they are great questions. Shame support here is so lacking to get a response

Yeah thanks. No one ever answered what should be a fairly clear process that at least someone could/should have had a best practice guideline. They have very clearcut processes for switching to light sail but nothing on this.

That being said I did get a response from WPRocket/Imagify below:

“Hi there,

This is Marko from Imagify, I’ll gladly assist you here!

There might be a workaround for this. As long as your original photos are larger than 2560px in width or height, WordPress itself will resize them to this value and append “-scaled” to their name. Imagify will optimize that one and its’ thumbnails, but the original image will stay intact.

So you would have:

– image.jpg
– image-scaled.jpg (resized and optimized)
– thumbnails

image.jpg will not be delivered to your visitors but will be available on the server, so you might put a direct link to that one for download.

Let me know if that would work for you. I am happy to help further if you need assistance.

Best Regards”

Never tried it though as I moved off the project. Let me know if you find something though.

Best
Randy

hello – generating thumbnails actually doesn’t have much to do with wp-rocket. it’s just how they are managed under wordpress. there are many plugins and settings here that can optimize them.

On the subject of wp-rocket, I have very good experience – as long as the product page does not need to be generated dynamically. Then wp-rockjet can generate a static html page. this relieves the server noticeably after a short time. and the delivery of the page is really faster!

but it is clear that wp-rocket always clears the cache when e.g. plugin-updates are installed. or something is changed on wp-rocket.

by the way css-minify and javascript deferred works well for me. a CDN is certainly also good – but the real boost comes from caching.
