Option to disable real-time hooks

    EWWW is really great… It’s increased my google pagespeed scores enormously.

    Unfortunately, it’s (or not it, but the image libraries it calls) are also crazy slow. So it’s not really something you want to do in real-time.

    I just installed the PictureFill.Wp plugin to generate smaller images for smaller devices.

    Unfortunately that plugin expects that thumbnail generation will be fast (like a default WP install), and tries to generate the thumbnails in real-time when the new image size is first requested.

    For me this was a disaster… with just 30 images on the page it managed to spin up 16 copies of pngquant (my limit of php-fpm) and everything stopped working.

    So my feature request is to be able to disable real-time use of the EWWW and use it only via the bulk optimize page or the cron option.

    Thanks!

    sticking as a feature request for others to vote on

    +1, would be nice for custom upload forms using media_handle_upload() if we could disable it.

    Might also be nice to offer an option to optimize at regular intervals via wp-cron rather than during upload. At least for users that disable WP_CRON and setup a actual cron job to trigger it so its not affecting load times.

    Einkoro, did you see the Scheduled optimization option? It runs via wp-cron just as you describe.

    feature is in dev, under Advanced. FYI, the only way to schedule optimization of the Media Library is to enter the path to your uploads/ folder in Folders to Optimize and turn on Scheduled Optimization.

    There will also eventually be a way to run the Media Library bulk optimize via wp-cli, but it is much more efficient for the scheduled optimize to scan the uploads folder than to query the database for every single image attachment.

    With the next release you’ll also be able to run the bulk processes from wp-cli as well. That functionality is almost ready to go into dev.
