Description

Winsite Image Optimizer will compress your images for optimal file-size while keeping its quality (pretty much) intact, using the ImageOptim API (and other processing engines coming up soon).

You can also process all of your old images retroactively using our dedicated tool, found under the Media section.

Currently-implemented Image Processing Services:

Warning: This won’t work on localhost in some cases, since some services work in a way that they pull images in from your site. This is why you’ll need a public URL in order to make this work locally.
You can use a service such as ngrok to achieve that, in conjunction with this filter:

add_filter( 'wsi_siteurl_override', function( $siteurl ) {
    return 'http://ae190611.ngrok.io/path-to-wp-installation/';
} );

We’d love to recieve contributions / suggestions from you on our GitHub project.

Work like a charm!

Better optimization it's so important for websites. This useful plugin work out of the box with minimum attention and maximum optimization.

Changed all image file names + weird redirects

I can't recommend this plugin as it changed lots of file names and duplicated images. With some regex I managed to get rid of some of its damage, but with large sites this would have been a nightmare I would say avoid this plugin to be safe, there are better plugins out there for image compressions

helpful

The plugin worked good and I've been using it for two years. Some of it's functions are basic and it does rename images, which has been a nuisance for me. I had to use another plugin - Media file rename to remove wsi-imageoptim- prefix from filenames (Google uses image filenames for indexing). But there is a saying: you don't look in teeth a horse which was given to you for free. Therefore three stars.
