What size is the photo and what image format?
And if you’d like, you can post a link to the image as well, I don’t think throttling is going to help you in this case.

this seems to be the last one it optimizes every time – its jpg – some of these pictures on this site are insanely large.
the info says : Reduced by 0.8% (388 B) – Previously Optimized
Image Size: 49.99 kB
the next image that it wont move onto is in a banner –

its 4 Mb lol
Yeah, you’re never going to get a 4MB PNG to optimize. You really, really need to convert that image to a JPG. Disable pngout & optipng temporarily, and use the PNG to JPG link in the media library on that image. By default, the original will still be preserved, and you will need to manually update anything that links to the image, but I think you’ll be pretty shocked at the file savings on that one.
this site is FULL of them!!!! ***did not build this website – sigh***
can i just do a universal png to jpg???
Depending on how many you have, I would normally recommend going through and spot-checking those, trying the PNG to JPG conversion on each one, and then running the rest through bulk afterwards. If you’re using the latest version of the plugin (1.9.2) you can do a a universal (bulk) png to jpg by enabling the option on the settings page for PNG to JPG and disabling optipng and pngout before you run the bulk optimize. After the first pass, then you can pick up any leftovers by re-enabling optipng and pngout and running the bulk optimize one more time.
ok, the big question is if i do a universal png to jpg and dont like the results is it un-doable?
Thanks for the awesome support btw
Yup, originals are preserved for conversion (PNG to JPG) by default so long as you don’t have the ‘delete originals’ box checked on the EWWW IO settings page.
Still not working after i convert them to jpg, i cant even access these images in the wordpress media library to resize them there – the files are too big
called hosting – had them increase the PHP memory limit on my hosting account – seems to be working better now. I am guessing i will still need to resize many of the gargantuan images individually to really achieve a significant change in them, but the plug in is running through them all. 🙂
