Squeeze is a lightweight yet powerful image optimization plugin for WordPress. 
It compresses and converts your images directly in your browser, so no image ever leaves your site.
Unlike most competitors, Squeeze:
♾️ Has no image compression limits — you can squeeze as many images as you want. 
☁️ Doesn’t send your images to any external servers — all processing happens locally in your browser. 
⚡ Converts images to WEBP instantly and directly, replacing the original file (no duplicates, no clutter). 
🖼️ Optimizes images on the fly inside Gutenberg, Elementor, and GenerateBlocks — right when you upload or insert them.
It’s privacy-safe, lightning-fast, and storage-efficient.
