<p><strong>Netgold AVIF Converter</strong> by NETGOLD is a lightweight, strictly non-invasive tool designed to skyrocket your WordPress website performance by serving next-generation AVIF images.</p>
<p>AVIF provides superior compression compared to WebP and traditional JPEG/PNG formats, significantly improving your Google PageSpeed Insights score and Core Web Vitals without losing visual quality.</p>
<h3>🚀 Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Strictly Non-Invasive:</strong> We never alter your database or HTML structure. The plugin dynamically serves AVIF files to compatible browsers using intelligent <code>.htaccess</code> rewrite rules. The original file URLs (like <code>.jpg</code> or <code>.png</code>) remain untouched in your source code.</li>
<li><strong>Smart Bulk Conversion Tool:</strong> Convert your entire media library with a single click. Our CPU-safe, batch-processing algorithm ensures your server never times out or crashes, even on shared hosting environments.</li>
<li><strong>Live Log Console:</strong> Real-time reporting of the conversion process! Watch exactly which files are being processed and see the precise savings for every single image.</li>
<li><strong>Granular Exclusions:</strong> Need to keep a specific image in its original format? Use our native Media Library picker to exclude individual files from optimization with one click.</li>
<li><strong>Anti-RAM Shield:</strong> Built-in protection that automatically detects and skips extremely large images (over 16Mpx) to prevent server memory exhaustion and crashes.</li>
<li><strong>Intelligent Resume:</strong> Process got interrupted? No problem. The Bulk Converter automatically remembers where it left off and resumes seamlessly.</li>
<li><strong>Broad Directory Support:</strong> Not just for the Media Library! You can choose to convert images located in <code>/uploads</code>, <code>/themes</code>, and <code>/plugins</code> directories.</li>
<li><strong>Visual Dashboard:</strong> Track your optimization progress with a clean, modern UI featuring a real-time progress circle and a live “Total Disk Space Saved” calculator.</li>
<li><strong>Safe Revert:</strong> Deactivating the plugin instantly removes the <code>.htaccess</code> rules, immediately reverting your site to serving the original images. No lock-in!</li>
</ul>
<h3>💡 Why AVIF?</h3>
<p>AVIF is currently the most efficient image format on the web, supported by all modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). It offers file sizes up to 50% smaller than WebP and 70% smaller than standard JPEGs.</p>
<h3>🇵🇱 Polish Language Support</h3>
<p>The plugin includes built-in <code>.po</code>/<code>.mo</code> files for the Polish language. If your WordPress is set to Polish, the plugin dashboard will automatically translate itself – no extra downloads required!</p>
