Documented presentation. No practical test, speed gain, commercial result or compatibility level was measured for this listing.

A free version or tier is available; paid features and connected services may cost extra.

What it does

Compress images and enable lazy loading to reduce the initial page weight.

Who it may suit

A media library whose image variants need to be smaller and whose loading needs to be controlled.

When to consider another approach

Compression does not fix poor cropping, inaccurate alternative text, or an unnecessary image; modern formats and originals are subject to plan limitations.

Limits and paid features

Images larger than 5 MB are skipped in the free version; CDN, WebP/AVIF conversion, and compression of originals are Pro features.

Check before deciding

Compare the file size and quality of a sample, identify files larger than 5 MB, and check images in the first screen after optimisation.

  • Check supported versions and maintenance on the official page.
  • Test interactions with your theme and plugins on a copy of your site.
  • For paid plans, check renewals, site limits and refund conditions.
