Hello Team JB,

I am using the New Lifestyle template. I have several tabbed containers on the home page. I need to improve my page load time. I see that many of the images in one of my tabs is cached in media\mod_zentools\cache\images.

I have two questions
1. I have tried to change the source of one of the images: it has the same name but is in a different image dir. When the page renders, it doesn't show the image from the new location. I can see the image in the Article when I select and change it. I clear Joomla! cached and web browser cache: doesn't help. Any ideas?

2. Can I delete everything in the mod_zentools\cache\images ? does it rebuild itself?

Thanks,

Pat

Hi Pat,

Do you have any server caching enabled or any site optimisation extension e.g. jch optimise?

It should repopulate with the new image when the image is changed or updated - have you tried with a different file name in the new version?

Regarding speed improvements are you running images through an optimisation service?

I use

kraken.io/
tinypng.com/

Cheers
Paul

We covered kraken here

I'm trying Kraken; i see size improvements, let's see what page insights reports..

But what about my other question?
Can I delete everything in the mod_zentools\cache\images ? does it rebuild itself?

pagespeed insights hasn't changed like I thought it should: again, I think the images are coming from the cached images in the folder mentioned above. Can I clear that folder and have mod_zentools recreate all of the cached images??

Do you see anything in the console tab of the browser for the missing image?

Are you using any server caching e.g. like sitegrounds super cacher?
