    Hello, everyone,

    This is a note from the developers of the Adaptive Images plugin on how to test if the plugin actually works. Indeed, the plugin functions very transparently and unobtrusively -and this is by design- but it might become hard sometimes to even detect that it is functioning in the first place!

    So here are the definitive ways to do this:

    1. The esiest way to test is with your browser’s device emulation mode (Responsive Design Mode) in it’ Developer Tools. You can check this out in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCAC1XUUOvw/ as an example.

    2. View an image straight from your browser and add a “?debug=true” parameter at the end of the url like this http://www.website.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/image.jpg?debug=true. This should print useful debug information as a text and, if it does, it verifies that the Adaptive Images plugin is in charge of delivering your images. If you keep seeing your image, then the plugin is not working as expected and the cause is probably a failure to update the .htaccess file properly.

    3. Test with a tool like Webpagetest http://www.webpagetest.org/. Make sure you set the “Emulate Mobile Browser” setting in the “Advanced Settings” > “Chrome” tab. This tool is using real devices and real browsers.

    And of course, you may always send us a support request here in the forum. It will help if you have checked the list above before and if you can provide the “Debug” and “Diagnostics” info which is available from within the plugin settings page!

    Cheers,
    Takis
