ImageRecycle is an automatic Image and PDF compression plugin for WordPress. Your customers are waiting for your pages to load, it can takes long, especially on mobile devices. Even content is served in seconds by a fast server, slow connection can make your users leaving.
People are impatient in front a slow loading website, that’s the result of all studies; 4 second loading causing 24% of visitors to leave (Source statistica.com.). Image and PDF optimization is more efficient than any other optimization tool.
Images can represent from 60% to 80% of a page weight, so an optimization can accelerate your page loading by x3 or more.
WORDPRESS IMAGE AND PDF COMPRESSION
It’s highly important in WordPress to make an image optimization because when you upload an image, 4 images are generated and stored on your server: a thumbnail, medium, large and original sized images.
Even more, some plugin can add their own image size for specific layouts like WooCommerce. All those images can be used in various conditions, it’s easy but heavy to load.
Image optimization with ImageRecycle plugin is automatic and reduce your page weight by up to 80%. This is highly recommended for SEO and high traffic websites.

COMPRESS IMAGES AND PDF, NOT QUALITY
The jpg, png, gif optimization algorithm can reduce the image size by up to 85% (5x +), while the resulting photos are visually identical to the originals. We believe that image and pdf compression is a matter preserving the quality then reduce the size.
Reducing the image and pdf size can be done using a massive compression of data and result a worsened quality. We detect already compressed media and return original files.

Compression technical details
The jpg optimization tool is capable of reducing the file size of standard JPEG photos by up to 85% (5x +), while the resulting photos are visually identical to the original photos.
The script on the server is making a full analysis of:
* Colors radius sizes
* Textures
* Patterns
For .png and gif images optimization, it’s quite different, we use several methods.
* Quantization
* Choosing a better pre-compression filter
* Deflate compression algorithm enhancement
We also offer a PDF compression specifically optimized for web-based publication.
The quality for reading a PDF on the web will be close to the original. Depending of the tool and the quality setting used to generate the PDF, you can expect from 10% to 95%.
Exceptional compression results can be applied on PDF exported for print using Adobe Indesign for example.
Optimizations are:
- Image optimization
- Colors resolution reduction for grayscale, bi-tonal images and indexed images
- Color conversion
- Subsetting of fonts
- Removal of embedded standard fonts
- Removal redundant objects
- Remove alternative images
- Remove metadata
- Resize image at exact size
Once the script detect some elements that can be optimized it runs the optimization on image zone that are mostly invisible to human eye.
We also eliminate non-standard elements added by some image software such as photoshop or Gimp. This process is completelly lossy and can be reverted.
