JZB Image Auto AVIF is an image optimization engine that helps WordPress users automatically generate compressed AVIF and WebP images. It does this without altering the original media library files, utilizing an independent cache directory architecture to safely serve optimized images to browsers.
<h3>Core Features:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Non-destructive Cache: Generated AVIF and WebP files are stored in a separate <code>wp-content/uploads/jzb-image-auto-avif/</code> directory. Uninstalling the plugin instantly restores your original media library.</li>
<li>Dual-Core Compression: Configure distinct quality settings for AVIF and WebP formats. Supports fine-grained adjustment and switching between lossy and lossless modes.</li>
<li>HTML Output Buffering: Dynamically replaces image links in the front-end HTML source without relying on <code>.htaccess</code> or <code>nginx.conf</code> rewrite rules.</li>
<li>Native Intervention Control: Provides toggles to prevent WordPress from generating unnecessary multi-size thumbnails or applying <code>-scaled</code> changes, helping to save server disk space.</li>
<li>Media Library Controls: Includes AJAX buttons in the Media Library list view to generate AVIF/WebP for individual old images or cleanly delete legacy thumbnails.</li>
<li>Dynamic Loading Thresholds: Recommends sizing configurations based on your server’s available CPU cores and RAM to prevent server timeouts during heavy image conversion.</li>
</ul>

MITS Image Optimizer is a professional image optimization toolkit for WordPress. It compresses images automatically on upload, batch-converts your entire media library to WebP and AVIF, configures Apache to serve next-gen formats automatically, and scans your site for common technical SEO issues.
<h4>Features</h4>
Auto-Compress on Upload 
Every JPG/PNG above a configurable size threshold is automatically scaled and compressed before WordPress generates its thumbnail sizes. No extra steps needed.
Bulk Compression 
Run a background batch job to compress all existing images in your media library. Progress is tracked and the job runs asynchronously – it won’t block your browser.
WebP Converter 
Batch-convert all JPG/PNG/GIF files in your uploads directory to WebP format. Runs in the background using WP-Cron or a loopback HTTP request. Supports both Imagick and GD libraries.
AVIF Converter 
Convert images to AVIF – the next-generation format that can be 30–50% smaller than WebP. Requires Imagick 7+ with AVIF support or PHP 8.1+ with GD <code>imageavif()</code>. The plugin detects support automatically and warns you if AVIF is unavailable on your server.
Apache .htaccess Configuration 
One click adds <code>mod_rewrite</code> rules to your <code>.htaccess</code> so Apache automatically serves <code>.webp</code> files to browsers that support them, with no code changes required in your theme.
Image Dimensions Scanner 
Detects images ≥ 1600 px wide that are used in posts or as featured images. Helps you find oversized images that slow down page loads, along with their file sizes, dimensions, and WebP/AVIF conversion status.
Site Audit 
Scans your site for the most common technical issues: missing alt text, oversized images, missing SSL, outdated plugins, pages without Open Graph tags, and more. Results include actionable recommendations.
Dashboard Widget 
A compact stats panel on the WordPress admin dashboard showing compression savings, WebP/AVIF conversion counts, and a link to the optimizer.
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>PHP 8.0+, WordPress 6.0+</li>
<li>GD or Imagick PHP extension (for WebP/compression)</li>
<li>Imagick 7+ with AVIF or PHP 8.1+ GD (for AVIF conversion)</li>
<li>Apache + <code>mod_rewrite</code> (for automatic WebP serving via <code>.htaccess</code>)</li>
</ul>
