NaveenCodes Image Optimizer helps you compress images across your WordPress site without feature locks, tracking code, or disruptive upsells. It supports automatic upload optimization, bulk processing for existing Media Library items, and clear before-and-after reporting so administrators can verify what changed.
The plugin is designed to stay simple in wp-admin. Site registration is automatic after activation, the optimization service connection is handled by the plugin, and administrators can manage compression behavior, batch size, resize rules, formats, retries, and metadata handling from one interface.
The plugin is designed to remain fully free:
<ul>
<li>No locked features</li>
<li>No artificial monthly limits</li>
<li>No ads</li>
<li>No tracking</li>
<li>No upsells</li>
</ul>
Features include:
<ul>
<li>Automatic optimization on upload</li>
<li>Async or sync processing modes</li>
<li>Background queue backed by a custom database table</li>
<li>Bulk optimization with progress updates and resume support</li>
<li>Full compression profile controls in wp-admin for quality, resize rules, metadata handling, formats, retries, and batch size</li>
<li>Automatic site-specific API key provisioning after plugin install</li>
<li>Optional WebP and AVIF sidecar generation</li>
<li>Optional backup copies before replacement</li>
<li>Dashboard analytics for images optimized, bytes saved, compression rate, failures, queue status, and service health</li>
<li>Media Library badge and single-image optimization action</li>
<li>Before and after reporting for recently optimized images</li>
<li>Local-only logging for troubleshooting</li>
<li>Optional and non-intrusive donation page</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ul>
<li>New uploads can be optimized automatically.</li>
<li>Existing Media Library images can be queued in bulk.</li>
<li>Individual images can be optimized directly from the Media Library.</li>
<li>The dashboard shows total savings, failures, progress, registration state, and health status.</li>
</ul>
<h4>External Service Disclosure</h4>
This plugin connects to an external image optimization service in order to compress images.
Service URL:
<ul>
<li><code>https://naveencodes.com</code></li>
</ul>
When the plugin communicates with the service, it may send:
<ul>
<li>The image binary being optimized</li>
<li>Optimization options such as quality, resize width, metadata handling, and output formats</li>
<li>The site URL during automatic site registration</li>
</ul>
The service is used only for optimization and registration required by the plugin workflow.
<ul>
<li>No analytics or advertising scripts are included.</li>
<li>No unrelated remote calls are made.</li>
<li>No user account is required.</li>
</ul>
