@shameemreza — Thanks for your response. I will look into both and come back to you.

@cookieyesteam — That’s good to know, thank you. ??

@vmarko

Thanks for your helpful response.

I’m not currently using an image compression plugin. Instead, I’m manually resizing and compressing images before uploading them. However, this process is becoming time-consuming, so I’m considering automating it. As a result, I may need to deploy a plugin in the near future to handle both tasks.

I will also explore the CDN option you mentioned.

Thank you once again for your helpful responses. I will now proceed from here and mark this post as resolved.

@vmarko — I’m very impressed with your image service, and it does an excellent job of compressing images.

I have just completed a test run, and the image size has been reduced by up to 80% using lossy compression without any noticeable changes in image quality.

The only drawback is that, since the original image is retained and WordPress does not compress enough by default, I could quickly consume a significant amount of my server storage. This could become an issue, especially considering that most of the websites I manage are e-commerce sites featuring 5–10 images per product. Over time, this storage usage could accumulate rapidly.

As a result, I might need to revert back to using my usual image compression service unless you have a solution for this storage concern. Not overwriting the original image is a wise decision on your part. Not all browsers support WebP, and having a fallback image is always a prudent strategy.

@vmarko — Thank you; no apology is necessary. You have been incredibly helpful, and I cannot thank you enough for your assistance. I appreciate the information you’ve provided. To be honest, I haven’t delved into WebP in great detail, so my knowledge on the topic is limited. I will test the free plan to start with, and if everything goes smoothly, I intend to upgrade to the pro plan to remove the limitations.

@vmarko — Update: I have found a highly informative article on your website that directly addresses the majority of my concerns. However, I’d appreciate it if you could confirm whether the following limits still apply to the free version: Hourly limit: 100 | monthly limit: 1000.

@vmarko — I’ve looked at the image service, and it appears that it currently only converts images to WebP format. While this is a positive step forward, my initial priority is to compress these images. Based on my assessment, your image service does not currently provide this compression functionality. As a potential solution, I may need to install an additional plugin, such as TinyPNG. I attempted to use Smush on a test site but encountered conflicts with both your plugin and Autoptimize. In order to preempt any potential issues, I intend to give TinyPNG a try.

@vmarko — Thank you very much. I appreciate your quick and helpful response. ??

@vmarko — Thanks. I will ask my developer to look into this. It would be very helpful and save me from having to do it manually. Since it’s an online store, I aim to keep it as dynamic as possible while reducing the server load. Thanks again for your timely response.

@vmarko — Sure, I will leave you a positive rating shortly.

@vmarko — Many thanks for the helpful response. ??

@joostvandevijver — I have noticed that you have listened to my feedback and implemented the improvements. Many thanks for that! I will leave you a positive rating shortly.

@hannahritner — No problem; it’s the least I could do. ??

@pehaa — Yes, that is correct. I left a review and submitted a support request. However, my issue has now been resolved, so I have updated my review to accurately reflect my experience.

@optimizingmatters — No problem, it’s the least I could do. ??
