I have WP Rocket installed and activated but GT Metrix gives me 0% for scaled images. Is it possible to somehow configure WP Rocket to solve this issue or should I use another plugin?
 
This is a common problem with responsive websites, don't mind it that much as it Will be hard to solve without changing the theme. To solve this in a responsive website youd need to read the client screen size before actually sending them the image files.

The most common workaround to this is having 3 "websites" the mobile one, the desktop one and the tablet one so you only server exactly those 3 image sizes that will kind of fit in most websites
 
WP rocket works for me. Have you also tried using image optimizers? Or the one you are currently using is optimizing your images too much to make pages responsive.

The worse suggestion that u can give. U are spreading ctr credits across 3 dif pages and screwing up google serp logic
 
Wp rocket does not do image optimization by itself. You need another plugin in parallel.

Try imagify or short pixel. Leverage their built in webp functionality as well.
 
More than just the 0 score, it's important to see how much data you would save by doing this. Sometimes it says like "you can save 83% (4kb)" which is obviously not even worth a second worth of work.

But, if you uploaded a 8k image for your homepage that will never ever be used at that size, then resize it and reupload the biggest version that would need to be shown and then see how it goes.
 
As long as you do it correctly, it is not only supported by Google, its going to give you the best possible performance for each platform you are working on.

have you done this and not seen negative impacts on your serp???? i know for fact few have done it, and it was the worse mistake they made when it came to their serp.

do few random MOBILE searches in major niches and you will not see what you have mentioned.... try best laptop bag... best cities to visit in Europe.... you will see few AMP pages, which google does not talk about anymore... it was a major flop concept.
 
u can try image optimizer plugin from optimole if wp smush have conflict with ur wp rocket.
