Plugin Description
WordPress plugin to optimize uploaded images (jpg, png, gif, webp, svg) using the great Spatie image-optimizer library and binary files on your host system.
If you open your media library, switch to list mode and enable the new column “Optimized”, you can click a link to optimize a previously uploaded image directly.
New uploaded images and all image sizes (thumbnails) are optimized automatically.
To update existing images, use the cli wp media regenerate, which also triggers the optimization chain. If you don’t have cli access, some other addon, that regenerates existing thumbnails should work, too (not tested).
Warning: Images are replaced with the optimized ones. Create a backup before testing this plugin – or don’t use this plugin, if this is a deal breaker for you.
Important: If the needed binaries aren’t installed, this plugin won’t optimize anything. Don’t use this plugin, if you don’t know, how to install them or if your web hoster doesn’t provide them.
For more information and notes about development, checkout the project README.md on Codeberg
Optimization tools
Spatie image-optimizer will use these optimizers if they are present on your system:
You can find information about how to install the binaries in the spatie image-optimizer README.
You probably want at least jpegoptim and optipng to be installed.
