Funny, I figured there would be a section for 'hosting companies'.. Bluehost is mine...lemme tell ya..

Was just wondering what you thought about them. My experience with them is the issue I'm having with uploading my site to their servers.

Not sure what happened... but it seems that the upload process takes so much longer now and all it basically is, is the homepage. Not sure if it's a setting in the FTP config or what... but all not much has changed in a span of about a week or so. But darn, it sure takes a long time to upload now. The GTMetrics site gives me an A rating... but not even sure if that is accurate assessment or not...

What's your take?

Ah, thanks... it's hard to decide... wasn't sure if the issue was related to the app, perhaps the settings in the app.. wasn't certain...

The software has no control over how fast or slow it can upload to your host server. There is many factors that you have to consider such as Internet speed (upload), your IP connection, (are they throttling), is your firewall in anyway blocking the connection, how large are the images (mb megabytes) in size or it may just be as simple as your host is slow due to the allocated bandwidth you have with them if on a shared hosting then it can also be to many users trying to all connect at once. As you can see there is a multitude of reasons why but not related to the software.

Throttling?

unlikely

Upload Speed?

unlikely

Firewall?

Checked this; not the case.

images?

Possibility. Which leads me to the question of which image type should I be using? I usually use PNG but I don't like how the software makes the image fuzzy if I resize it. Wish there was a way around that, to sustain it's crispness.

According to developers.google
WebP supports lossless and translucent images, making it an alternative to the PNG format.
https://developers.google.com/speed/web ... %20format.
WebP typically achieves an average of 30% more compression than JPEG and JPEG 2000, without loss of image quality (see Comparative Study). The WebP format essentially aims at creating smaller, better looking images that can help make the web faster.

It's best to resize an image before using in wwb but have you tried right-click > Image Tools > Resample?
I use it a lot for smallish size images.

Cool. I'd heard about webp images before but never used them. So they seem to be better quality and smaller file size. So that's good too.
How often do you use webp images?

I havent used it in wwb. But I'll give it a shot. I grew up on Dreamweaver which also had resample.

All the time, or else you can use jpeg or png but modern website you should use webp if you are looking to quickly load the image on site or you can also use AVIF formatted images which is much less size and better quality compared to even webp.
