Image Factory

This plugin automatically processes and compresses images as they are uploaded to a content management system, using the mozjpeg encoder. It is designed for site administrators and developers who require high-quality image optimization with complete server-side control, avoiding reliance on external cloud services.

• Real-time mozjpeg optimization: Images are compressed immediately upon upload using the mozjpeg library, which typically provides better compression than standard JPEG encoders while maintaining visual quality.
• Server-side execution: All processing happens on your own server via a background worker, ensuring data never leaves your infrastructure and giving you full authority over the optimization process.
• Configurable socket communication: The plugin uses a Unix socket to communicate with the optimization worker script, allowing for flexible deployment and the potential to run multiple instances for different sites.
• Manual installation and control: Setup involves installing system dependencies, configuring a worker script, and managing the service through init scripts, offering transparency and customization for server environments.
