Changelog
1.0.0
First release.
Optimization (free)
- One-click bulk optimization of the whole Media Library, with a live progress ring, savings counters and activity list. Pause and resume at any time.
- Background runs that keep going after the tab is closed, with the open dashboard tab taking over on hosts that block background requests.
- Automatic optimization of new uploads, right after WordPress creates their sizes.
- Every size of every image is optimized, not just the main file.
- Gentle and Balanced compression levels.
- EXIF rotation applied before metadata is removed, colour profiles kept (Imagick), JPEG quality never raised above the source's, and a file never replaced by a bigger one.
- Oversized originals scaled down to 2560 px by default.
- Animated GIFs and PNGs left untouched.
Formats and delivery (free)
- WebP and AVIF copies created next to each file, each kept only when smaller.
- Delivery with
<picture>tags on any host and CDN, or with rewrite rules on Apache and LiteSpeed. - Opt an image out with the
no-bytcrushclass or thedata-bytcrush-skipattribute.
Safety (free)
- Byte-for-byte backups of every original in a private, randomly named folder.
- Restore one image from the Media Library, or every image from the dashboard.
- Folder-permission and disk-space checks before a bulk run.
- Media Library column with per-image savings, re-optimize and restore.
