Description

IMJOLWP Image Optimizer is a lightweight and performance-focused WordPress plugin that automatically converts uploaded images (JPEG, PNG, GIF) into WebP format while maintaining the original image file names and URLs. This ensures full compatibility across your theme and plugins, while significantly improving your site’s load time and performance.

Key Benefits:

  • Faster website load times due to smaller image file sizes.
  • No changes to image URLs—maintains backward compatibility.
  • Server-side conversion using either Imagick or GD, depending on availability.
  • Easy-to-use settings panel for WebP quality and metadata stripping.
  • Ideal for blogs, eCommerce, portfolios, and image-heavy sites.

Features:

  • 🔄 Automatic conversion of JPEG, PNG, and GIF files to WebP upon upload
  • ⚙️ Customizable WebP image quality (0–100)
  • ✂️ Option to remove image metadata for further compression
  • 🧠 Seamless URL preservation (images retain their original URLs)
  • 🔄 Fallback mechanism between Imagick and GD image libraries

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/imjolwp-image-optimizer directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Navigate to Settings > ImjolWP Image Optimizer to configure your desired image quality and metadata options.
  4. Upload images via Media Library – conversions will happen automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin change the image URLs to WebP?

No. The original image URLs (e.g., .jpg, .png) remain unchanged, which ensures full compatibility with themes and existing content. The file contents are replaced with WebP internally.

What if my server does not support Imagick?

The plugin will automatically fall back to GD’s imagewebp() function if Imagick is not available on your server.

Can I control the compression quality?

Yes, you can set your desired WebP image quality (0–100) through the plugin settings panel.

Can I remove metadata from images?

Yes, there is an option in the settings to strip metadata during conversion to reduce file size.

Will previously uploaded images be converted?

Currently, only newly uploaded images are converted. A bulk conversion tool may be added in a future version.
