WP Optimize Images
WordPress sites are slow because of unoptimized images. I built a plugin that fixes this automatically.
The Problem
- Average WordPress page loads 2-3MB of images
- Most users upload full-resolution photos from their phones
- No one manually optimizes images before uploading
The Solution
A plugin that:
- Auto-compresses images on upload (50-80% size reduction)
- Bulk optimizes your entire media library
- Strips EXIF data to reduce file size
- Resizes oversized images to max dimensions
How it works
Uses PHP GD/Imagick to:
- Convert to optimized JPEG/PNG
- Strip metadata (EXIF, IPTC, XMP)
- Resize based on configurable limits
- Save to media library with optimized version
Installation
- Download the ZIP
- WordPress Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
- Activate and configure
Results
- 50-80% file size reduction
- No quality loss (visually identical)
- Faster page loads = better SEO
