This plugin optimizes image files directly in a user's web browser before they are uploaded to a website. It is designed for site administrators who need to reduce page load times and improve site performance, particularly on shared hosting environments where installing server-side image processing tools is not possible.

• Browser-based compression: Image files are processed locally in the admin area using the browser's capabilities, eliminating the need for server resources or additional PHP libraries.
• Automatic format handling: Supports JPG and PNG formats. It can serve WebP images to compatible browsers for further savings, falling back to optimized JPG/PNG for others.
• Background processing: Once an image is selected for upload, optimization happens automatically in the background before the file is sent to the server.
• Compression status tracking: A dedicated interface within the media library shows the progress of image compression and lists any files with errors.
• Site health integration: Includes a status check within the site health tools to help diagnose and troubleshoot any plugin configuration issues.
