Nice plugin Looking good so far

    I installed it as it came with the Back up suit of WP Vivid for free. This was absolutely under the radar as I never heard of that plugin. The set up is clear and easy to understand. It has option to resize and compress. Also possibility to convert to Webp and even CDN.
    So quite complete.
    What I am not so sure about is the compression ability respective to other plugins.
    I use Lossy: Compress the image by up to 20%(conservatively) but in my stat the reduction is 4% so really not worth it in my point of view.
    My images get ingested already quite optimized with mini JPG pro and a 77% quality in Lightroom.

    I wish there was some kind of visual clue to see how it compresses a sample image in all the quality setting that you can choose.

    I also hope to see some comparison in the future with the big contenders in that department of image optimizations. Maybe it is still to unknown to have been noticed.

    So I like all the possibilities but I am quite in the dark of their compression power and so far a 4% is not something to be very excited about.

    Hi @mastix

    Thank for taking the time out to leave us this review!

    Please be aware that images cannot be infinitely compressed. Since your images had undergone a strong compression before being compressed again by our plugin, a 4% reduction is reasonable.

    The algorithm for the optimization is intelligent, based on the compression rate you set, it will automatically optimize images(including thumbnails and other sizes) to the best level without ‘destroying the images’.

    All the best,
