Image Optimizate helps you optimize WordPress images with a workflow that fits shared hosting, local development, and larger media libraries.
Features include:
- Optimize images automatically on upload.
- Run single-image optimization from the Media Library and attachment screen.
- Queue and process existing library images in batches.
- Use WordPress fallback editors, Browser Squoosh, or Server Squoosh.
- Convert output to JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF.
- Skip small images and keep originals when optimized output is larger.
- Create backups for in-place optimization and restore originals later.
- Review recent queue activity, optimization totals, and detailed logs.
Processing engine overview:
- Fallback uses WordPress image editors such as Imagick or GD.
- Browser Squoosh runs in an authenticated admin browser tab and does not require Node.js on the server.
- Server Squoosh uses Node.js with the bundled worker scripts in this plugin.
