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

Hi Fleeky,
Thanks for the step by step training.
I have an older site and asked Site Support to Please transfer me over to Kraken IF it will make my posts/pages faster.
SiteSupport have been helpful and advised " your website has been migrated to the new beta server and it is working fine now. Please try accessing it at your end after clearing the browser cache."
What are the next steps do you know?
1. I cannot see this Kraken plugin in my WordPress Plugins, do I need to download and install it?
2. After following your training, do you recommend Deactivating or delete EWWW plugin?
Thanks in advance, John

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.

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