Images Larger AFTER “optimisation”
-
Nearly two thirds of the images I have “optimised” using this plugin have ended up larger than they were before “optimisation”.
This doesn’t seem very “optimal” to me. If the processed image is larger than the un-processed image the it should be rejected automatically.
I appreciate that with some images there may not be much to be gained and some may end up a few bytes larger with different header structures etc, but many of my images are going up by OVER 50%! Some are DOUBLING in size.

It seems there is an awful lot of work needed on your “optimisation” algorithm. Especially as those which end up less optimised are charged at the same rate as the few which are improved.
If the aim of this plugin is to “optimise” images for faster loading then it really does need some logic whereby it will always choose the smaller image. The lack of this logic is a major bug which actually means that many sites may run far slower with this plugin added than they do without it. That doesn’t really seem very “optimal”.
