Optimized Images

Imagify-style image optimization for WordPress — auto-optimize on upload, bulk compression, WebP conversion, and one-click backup & restore, with a pluggable local or cloud compression engine.

Version: 1.0.1 · Requires: WordPress 6.0+, PHP 7.4+ · License: GPL-2.0-or-later

Overview

Optimized Images compresses your WordPress images to make pages load faster, without sacrificing visible quality.

Features

• Auto-optimize on upload — every new image is compressed the moment it lands in the Media Library, including all generated thumbnail sizes.
• Bulk optimization — process your entire existing library from one page, one image at a time so large sites never hit a PHP timeout. The run is resumable.
• WebP conversion — generate WebP copies and serve them automatically to supported browsers via a <picture> fallback, no server config needed.
• Backup & restore — keep a pristine copy of each original and restore it (rebuilding all thumbnails) with one click.
• Pluggable engine — compress locally with GD / Imagick out of the box, or plug in the TinyPNG cloud API for stronger results. Third parties can register a provider via the isq_providers filter.
• Compression levels — Lossless, Balanced, or Aggressive.
