What is the best compression plug-in to use so that I don’t slow everything down? 2. What photo gallery plug-in works best with GP? Thanks everyone February 8, 2017 at 3:36 pm #276301 LeoStaff Customer Support Hi Cristo, 1. Did a bit of research and here is what I find: This one has the most active installs with lots of reviews: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/ These two doesn’t have nearly as many active installs but good reviews: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/shortpixel-image-optimiser/ https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/kraken-image-optimizer/ 2. I would recommend using the native WordPress galleries: https://codex.wordpress.org/The_WordPress_Gallery Hope this helps! February 8, 2017 at 3:45 pm #276304 CRISTO Thanks, Leo. I already had wp-smushit, just wanted to be sure it was the best choice, so you have confirmed it. I had heard that envira gallery was good, but I will check out the native WordPress galleries. I am trying to make everything as simple as possible…the KISS method. February 8, 2017 at 3:50 pm #276306 LeoStaff Customer Support You’re welcome 🙂 Generally I find the reviews on WordPress pretty reliable but there might also be some sneaky good ones out there. WordPress galleries is definitely the simplest way to go – no plugin required! February 8, 2017 at 4:14 pm #276312 CRISTO I will check it out. Somewhere I thought I had read earlier that Tom said most gallery plug-ins are poorly coded, slow, boated, etc, so I want to be sure I pick a good one. If you think the WP gallery is Ok then I will probably go with them. Author Posts Viewing 5 posts - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
