<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the ImgSmaller API to compress images and retrieve plan/quota information.</p>
<p>What is the service and what is it used for?<br />
– The ImgSmaller API (https://imgsmaller.com) provides image compression and account information used by this plugin to optimize your Media Library and display plan/quota details.</p>
<p>What data is sent and when?<br />
– When you start compression, the plugin sends the public URL of each selected attachment (or a secure, tokenized proxy URL if the file is not publicly accessible) along with your API key to request compression. After polling completes, the plugin downloads the optimized image bytes.<br />
– When viewing plan info, the plugin requests your current plan usage and limits using your API key.</p>

– You can disable background processing at any time from the dashboard. If you prefer not to send any files or metadata, do not start compression and do not enter an API key.</p>

<h4>Generate WebP or AVIF</h4>
<ul>
<li>Generate WebP or AVIF file when adding image file in Media Library.</li>
<li>Generate WebP or AVIF from all the images by async/await.</li>
<li>Optionally, Can replace image files with WebP or AVIF when adding new media, and delete the original image file. Also, when generating all images, the original image file ID will be overwritten as WebP or AVIF and the original image file will be deleted. All URLs in the content are also replaced.</li>
</ul>
<h4>WP-CLI</h4>
<p>WP-CLI commands are available. If you have a large number of files, WP-CLI commands is more reliable.<br />

* <code>wp pluswebpavif webp</code> -> Generated WebP.<br />
* <code>wp pluswebpavif avif</code> -> Generated AVIF.<br />
* <code>wp pluswebpavif help</code> -> Specification of this command.<br />

* <code>wp pluswebpavif avif addext</code> -> Append the webp or avif extension to the original filename.<br />
* <code>wp pluswebpavif webp --pid=12152</code> -> Process only specified Media ID(Conversion source ID).<br />
* <code>wp pluswebpavif avif --quality=90</code> -> Specifies the quality of WebP or AVIF.<br />

Plus WebP or AVIF

It is very useful to replace the URLs of images of existing content as well.

Easy and very useful


I really like this plugin and it's very good in other aspects. However, on both of my websites, when converting in bulk, I was unable to continue the conversion for a certain period of time, indicating an Ajax 500 error. What is the reason?


500 error


This is great plugin to save my server space!
