<p>Snake Image Optimizer is designed for site owners who want a straightforward, local-first workflow for image optimization.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This version is intentionally focused on a small, practical workflow:</p>
<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>
<p>This plugin is best suited for users who want:</p>
<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>

<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>

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!



Dear developer, I prefer to donate by paypal, usdt or stripe instead of inputting my credit card elsewhere.
