Codcy Image Optimizer

تفصیل

Codcy Image Optimizer converts your existing JPEG and PNG images to WebP format in bulk — directly on your server, with no third-party API or paid subscription required.

WebP images are significantly smaller than JPEG and PNG files (typically 60–95% smaller), which leads to faster page loads, lower bandwidth usage, and better Core Web Vitals scores.

How it works:

  1. Scan — Analyzes your entire Media Library. Shows total image count, file size, and format breakdown before any changes are made.
  2. Review — You decide when to start. Nothing is changed until you click Start.
  3. Optimize — Converts images in batches of 20. Originals are backed up automatically.
  4. Report — A detailed summary shows converted count, space saved, average compression rate, and any errors.

Key features:

  • Converts JPEG and PNG to WebP
  • Automatic backup of original files to uploads/codcy-image-optimizer/backup/
  • Skips images where WebP would be larger than the original
  • Fixes EXIF orientation automatically (Imagick)
  • Resumes from where it left off if interrupted
  • Does not alter image dimensions or crop ratio
  • No external API, no account required
  • Works with Imagick (preferred) or GD Library

What it does NOT do (intentionally):

  • Does not resize images
  • Does not process GIF files (may contain animation)
  • Does not delete backups automatically

عمومی سوالات

Does this use an external service?

No. All processing happens on your server using PHP’s Imagick or GD extension. No data is sent anywhere.

Will my original images be deleted?

No. Originals are copied to uploads/codcy-image-optimizer/backup/ before conversion. The backup directory is protected from public access.

What if the optimization is interrupted?

The plugin tracks progress in the database. If you stop mid-way, clicking Start Optimization again will resume from where it left off. Use Reset Progress only if you want to start fresh.

Does it work with WooCommerce product images?

Yes. All images in the WordPress Media Library are processed, including WooCommerce product images.

What image quality setting does it use?

WebP quality is set to 82/100 by default, which provides an excellent balance between file size and visual quality.

Is Imagick required?

No. The plugin works with GD Library as well, which is available on most hosting environments. Imagick is preferred because it also corrects EXIF orientation.

Will this affect my image URLs?

The plugin updates the attachment record in WordPress, so URLs served by WordPress will automatically point to the new WebP file. Note: CDN-served URLs may need cache clearing.

1.6.0

  • Fixed: JS and CSS are now loaded via wp_enqueue_script/wp_enqueue_style instead of inline output.
  • Fixed: Removed load_plugin_textdomain() — WordPress.org handles translations automatically.
  • Fixed: Removed directory assets (screenshots, icons) from plugin ZIP — these are uploaded via SVN separately.

1.5.1

  • Added: Existing WebP images are now optimized too — images wider than 1200px are resized, images larger than 500KB are recompressed.

  • Improved: WebP images already within limits (under 1200px and under 500KB) are skipped automatically.

1.1.0

  • Added: 45-second timeout per batch — stuck requests are automatically skipped.

  • Added: Skip images that already have a .webp version on disk (previously optimized by any plugin).
  • Improved: Batch processing is now more resilient on slow or shared hosting.
