<p>Digital Creatings AVIF WebP Image Optimizer is developed by Puneet Tiwari and built for practical, server-friendly image optimization on real WordPress sites.</p>
<p>Instead of converting images only during page requests, it can queue conversion jobs and process them in controlled batches via WP-Cron (and optional shutdown processing). This helps reduce page-time CPU spikes on medium and large media libraries.</p>
<p>Key capabilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Converts images to AVIF and/or WebP depending on your selected mode and server support.</li>
<li>Supports responsive desktop/mobile variants with configurable quality and max width.</li>
<li>Scans your media library and queues missing variants with progress reporting.</li>
<li>Background queue controls: batch size, time limit, cron interval, retry failed, clear pending/failed, stop and clear queue.</li>
<li>Optional lazy loading support for image tags.</li>
<li>Optional Gravatar caching to local disk (with optimized variants where possible).</li>
<li>Optional CSS background processing for inline <code>style</code> attributes and <code><style></code> blocks.</li>
<li>Live admin dashboard for queue and cache status.</li>
</ul>
<p>Designed for production safety:</p>
<ul>
<li>Queue-based processing to avoid heavy one-request workloads.</li>
<li>Pending queue guardrails to prevent unbounded backlog growth.</li>
<li>Recovery-oriented controls for scan pause/resume and queue maintenance.</li>
</ul>

<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin can optionally connect to <strong>Gravatar</strong> (Automattic) to download comment author profile images when <strong>Cache Gravatars</strong> is enabled in the plugin settings.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it is used for:</strong> Gravatar supplies default avatar images for WordPress comments and author profiles. The plugin downloads those images once, converts them locally to AVIF/WebP when possible, and serves cached copies from your site to reduce third-party requests.</li>
<li><strong>What data is sent and when:</strong> Only when Gravatar caching is enabled and a page or comment displays a Gravatar URL (typically <code>secure.gravatar.com</code>), the plugin sends an HTTP GET request for that avatar image URL and size. No WordPress user account data, email addresses, or site content beyond the public Gravatar URL is transmitted by this plugin.</li>
<li><strong>Service provider:</strong> Gravatar (Automattic) — <a href="https://en.gravatar.com/site/terms-of-service" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>, <a href="https://automattic.com/privacy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>All other image optimization is performed locally on your server. Original uploads and generated cache files remain on your hosting unless you configure separate CDN or backup services outside this plugin.</p>
<h3>Technical Notes</h3>
<p>If you are integrating or extending behavior, these hooks are available:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>dcawio_defaults</code> – Filter default settings.</li>
<li><code>dcawio_is_excluded</code> – Filter image URL exclusion behavior.</li>
<li><code>dcawio_skip_img_rewrite</code> – Filter per-image rewrite skip logic.</li>
<li><code>dcawio_max_queue_batch_size</code> – Filter maximum allowed queue batch size.</li>
<li><code>dcawio_admin_queue_jobs_limit</code> – Filter number of jobs shown in admin queue list.</li>
</ul>
<p>Cache and queue behavior depends on server CPU, available image libraries, and cron reliability. For large libraries, prefer queue mode with conservative batch/time limits and monitor progress from the dashboard.</p>


Digital Creatings AVIF WebP Image Optimizer

Convert media images to AVIF/WebP with a background queue, responsive variants, and automatic picture-element delivery.

CompressX

<p>CompressX is a free, lightweight WebP & AVIF conversion and media replacement plugin for WordPress. It allows you to easily convert JPG and PNG images to WebP and AVIF formats, compress WebP and AVIF images, and replace media files without changing their URLs or attachment IDs. All AVIF and WebP conversions are performed locally on your web server.</p>
<h3>Core Features</h3>
<h4>1. Convert AVIF & Compress AVIF</h4>
<p>Convert jpg, png, and WebP images on your WordPress website to AVIF format, and compress AVIF images according to the compression level you set.<br />
If the original image is already in AVIF format which is supported since WordPress 6.5, the original AVIF image will only be compressed.</p>
<h4>2. Convert WebP & Compress WebP</h4>
<p>Convert jpg, png images on your WordPress website to WebP format, and compress WebP images according to the compression level you set.<br />
If the original image is already in WebP format which is supported since WordPress 5.8, the original WebP image will only be compressed.</p>
<h4>3. Media Replacement & Auto Re-Optimization</h4>
<p>Safely replace an existing media file without changing its URL or attachment ID. When a new image is uploaded as a replacement, the system automatically regenerates thumbnails, applies your configured format conversion and compression rules, resizes where needed, and re-optimizes the file.</p>
<h4>4. Exclude Folders</h4>
<p>Select specific folders in your media library and prevent images inside them from being processed.</p>
<h4>5. Custom Folders</h4>
<p>Select folders that are in the wp-content folder but outside the Uploads (media library) and process images inside them.</p>
<h4>6. Auto-Process New Images</h4>
<p>Automatically convert new images uploaded to a WordPress website to WebP/AVIF format and compress WebP/AVIF images upon upload.</p>
<h4>7. Auto-Remove Large Images</h4>
<p>Automatically remove converted AVIF/WebP images when they are larger than original images.</p>
<h4>8. Restore Original Images</h4>
<p>Your images will be reverted to their original state and all AVIF/WebP images and data in the database generated by CompressX will be removed when CompressX is uninstalled.</p>
<h3>Minimum Requirements to use CompressX</h3>
<ul>
<li>Character Encoding UTF-8</li>
<li>PHP version 7.0</li>
<li>MySQL version 4.1</li>
<li>WordPress 5.8</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>

CompressX — AVIF & WebP Converter, Media Replacement


It's all new, but I believe this can go far ! I was looking for a plugin with free AVIF conversion, and locally hosted (a lot of images plugins use their servers to compress, that's why a lot of them are expensive).Awesome support, totally free (for now ?), does the same thing as the famous Media Converter, but with free AVIF. Take my 5/5 rating ;)EDIT : Oh no wait, it does more than media converter, allowing you to set a max width / height on your images :fire:


This may be my future goto plugin for image optimisation


Deserves 5-stars just for vision and generosity in making this exist!



Will give it a thorough test and post any feedback as we go.



Thank you 🙏
