Energon is a plugin that automatically optimizes images to improve website performance and reduce page load times. It is designed for website owners and developers who want to enhance user experience and Core Web Vitals without manual image compression work.

• Automatic Optimization: Processes new image uploads and existing media library files in the background, applying compression and conversion settings you define.
• Bulk Optimization: Compresses your entire existing media library with a single action, allowing you to retroactively improve site performance.
• Lossless and Lossy Compression: Offers different compression levels, from completely lossless (preserving all quality) to aggressive lossy compression for maximum file size reduction.
• WebP Conversion: Can automatically create and serve modern WebP image formats to compatible browsers, which are typically smaller than JPEG or PNG files, for faster delivery.
• Configuration and Control: Provides settings to adjust compression strength, exclude certain images or folders, and specify when optimization occurs to manage server load.
