Snake Image Optimizer is designed for site owners who want a straightforward, local-first workflow for image optimization.
Instead of depending on an external optimization API, the plugin works with local server capabilities to generate WebP and AVIF files for uploads and WordPress-generated image sizes. Original files remain available as a safe fallback.
This version is intentionally focused on a small, practical workflow:
<ul>
<li>Local WebP/AVIF conversion for uploaded JPG and PNG images.</li>
<li>Safe fallback behavior that keeps the original files available.</li>
<li>Automatic AVIF/WebP delivery through WordPress image handling.</li>
<li>Lazy Load controls with a built-in page test tool.</li>
<li>Diagnostics to help confirm local WebP/AVIF support.</li>
<li>Activity logs for troubleshooting conversions and plugin actions.</li>
<li>Bulk processing for eligible existing Media Library images.</li>
</ul>
This plugin is best suited for users who want:
<ul>
<li>a local-first approach;</li>
<li>no dependency on a remote compression service;</li>
<li>visibility into what the plugin is doing through logs and diagnostics; and</li>
<li>a safer workflow that keeps originals available.</li>
</ul>

Nor you will get overcharged in case of a BOT crawl your website.
WHAT DOES THIS PLUGIN DO?
This plugin registers a Service Worker, providing Progressive Web App functionalities to your 
website in order to intercept your Images in order to automatically detect the best possible Image required by your end user.

FULLY WHITE-LABEL
One of the reasons we decided to go with this approach is no other than SEO. 
Using Client Hints Combined with Service Worker will get you all the performance benefits 
for your end users without the SEO disadvantages that comes with the URL Rewrite.
WHY ITS IMPORTANT NOT TO CHANGE IMAGE URLS
In case you rewrite your image urls into something else all 
SEO juice from all image urls goes to the Vendor domain 
even if the urls contain a canonical name, they are still searchable using the vendor url.
PREREQUISITES
<ul>
<li>Your website runs https only</li>
<li>Your website doesn’t have a Service Worker already.</li>
</ul>
IMPORTANT
This plugin is not compatible with other plugins that registers a Service Worker. You’ll need to disable other plugins 
that registers a service worker on your website or use our <a href="https://www.imghaste.com/docs/" rel="nofollow ugc">Custom Integration Guide</a> and lose the white label feature.
