Optimize and serve your images in AVIF or webp format on-the-fly, boosting site performance and decreasing load times with our network distribution.

HEDEF Hosting

Hedef Image Optimizer — WebP & AVIF is a lightweight but powerful image optimization plugin that converts your JPEG and PNG uploads into modern WebP and AVIF formats.
All conversions happen locally on your server using GD and/or Imagick – there is no external API, no remote storage and no extra monthly bills.
The plugin is developed and maintained by <a href="https://hedefhosting.com.tr/" rel="nofollow ugc">Hedef Hosting</a> and is provided completely free of charge. 
If you have ideas, bug reports or feature requests, feel free to email us at support@hedefhosting.com.tr.
It focuses on three main goals:
<ul>
<li>Better performance – Serve lighter images without visibly losing quality.</li>
<li>Modern formats – Use WebP and AVIF when supported by your server and your visitors’ browsers.</li>
<li>Simple control – Configure everything from a single, polished settings page.</li>
</ul>

<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>When you upload a JPEG or PNG image, the plugin can automatically generate .webp and/or .avif versions (depending on your settings and server capabilities).</li>
<li>For existing images, use the Media → Bulk Optimize (NGIO) screen to scan the Media Library and generate missing next-gen versions in small batches.</li>
<li>On the frontend, you can enable the integration so that supported browsers will load AVIF / WebP, while older browsers still get the original image.</li>
<li>The plugin stores lightweight stats in attachment metadata (ngio) so you can see how much space you’ve saved on each image and across the library.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>PHP 8.1 or higher (for AVIF support through GD or Imagick).</li>
<li>WordPress 6.5 or higher.</li>
<li>One of:
<ul>
<li>PHP GD extension compiled with WebP/AVIF support.</li>
<li>PHP Imagick extension with WEBP/AVIF codecs enabled.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
If your server is missing some of these, the Server support box on the settings page will clearly show what’s available and what is not.
<h3>Usage</h3>
<h3>1. Choose formats and automation</h3>
On the Settings → Image Optimizer page:
<ul>
<li>Enable WebP, AVIF, or both, depending on your server capabilities.</li>
<li>Turn on Optimize on upload if you want new images to be processed automatically.</li>
<li>Enable Serve via to send WebP/AVIF to compatible browsers.</li>
</ul>
You can also:
<ul>
<li>Pick a quality level (e.g. 80–85 for most sites).</li>
<li>Enable Resize next-gen copies and set a max width (e.g. 2048px).</li>
<li>Enable Strip metadata to remove EXIF/IPTC from generated copies.</li>
<li>Add Exclusion patterns (one per line) to skip specific images.</li>
</ul>
<h3>2. Bulk optimization</h3>
Go to Media → Bulk Optimize (NGIO):
<ul>
<li>Click Optimize all images to start the process.</li>
<li>The progress bar will move as images are processed.</li>
<li>The log will list each optimized attachment.</li>
<li>If you change quality or resize settings later, you can run bulk optimization again – existing next-gen copies will be refreshed.</li>
</ul>
<h3>3. Per-image controls</h3>
In Media → Library (list view):
<ul>
<li>Use the Optimizer column to see:
<ul>
<li>Status (optimized/not optimized).</li>
<li>New filesize and percentage of space saved.</li>
<li>Links to Re-optimize and Restore original.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
In the attachment edit screen:
<ul>
<li>Use the NextGen optimization metabox to:
<ul>
<li>Optimize/re-optimize just that image.</li>
<li>Override the global “Optimize on upload” behaviour.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
