Gravatar cache

Is there any way to cache Gravatars? I tried these three plugins, but no one does not do it – tested with Google Page Speed, issue also on browser caching.

I don’t know if it’s possible to cache external resources directly.

Testing on PageSpeed Insights and Pingdom show some problems associated with gravatar:
– Image compression
– Remove query strings from static resources
– Leverage browser caching

Hard to understand, how much it affects the real speed.

Gravatar replacement with local images something improve? It offes some plug-ins –

Work, but the test results are better with this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/
Improve PageSpeed Insights and Gtmetrix results by almost 20 points!!
But one problem – not displaying avatar at the top of the site (my Profile) – see attach.

Are you not planning replace default gravatar with local? I do not know how real is the increase in speed, but the test scores look significantly better.

Hi,

From what I see on their plugin page isn’t compatible with BuddyPress and there (in the main menu) avatar it uses a BuddyPress function ( bp_get_loggedin_user_avatar ) to get current user avatar

WE need to keep the gravatar service it’s a WordPress native.

You can ask the plugin author if they haves some workarounds for that.
