Install the kraken plugin
Since Carson announced the choice of a new image optimizer plugin to improve the overall speed of our sites, I could hardly wait to install, activate and use the plugin.
It is WOWing!
For those who missed the announcement, kindly find it here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/carson/blog/kraken-image-opt...
For some of us, less techy, there are some points to pay attention too.
- Let us start with installing and activating the plugin
Go to your wordpress dashboard > plugins > add new (1)
Type kraken (2) and enter
Install and activate the plugin (3)
- The screen looks like this :
The next step is to register with kraken.io

Thank you for telling me Michael.
Many of us are lost indeed and it takes time to get used to the technical aspect of a website without being drawn by it....
Just know that you need to ask site suport for help, since they have to move your site... and if you doubt, ask their advice.
If you have an active mailadress on your website like
me @ mywebsite. Com
Better delay the transfer and wait for the official moves.
I tested wIth one of my sites and WOW.
Could get rid of some plugins that marked my site as green

Hi - I have Kraken automatically activated in a new site I created a couple of days ago, but I understood that we are not supposed to add it to our older sites until they have been moved to the new servers.

Hi
Oh great!
Yes... you need approval of site support for older sites.
I tested on one of my older sites, and it is speedy.
Just know the mailbox is lost, if you have one on that old site.
Thank you for sharing

I love this! Does it mean only older sites need these steps? The new sites shall already be installed?

According to Carson Older sites should just wait to be updated to the new servers. Kraken is a paid system and they give us their API key when we are placed on the new servers so we need not register our own accounts. Kraken may actually slow you down without the proper PHP version on the older servers.

Hi!
Yes, as Carson said.
The plugin is awesome!
For now Old sites need to be adapted manually and transferred to the new servers indeed...
Just know it is still in beta!
But wow what a speed!
In doubt better ask site suport first
