Description

• Quick & easy to use: Install, activate, configure and start uploading new media images!
  No external service or signup required. Plugin uses only PHP software installed on your server.
  To bulk (re)compress existing media images use “Regenerate Thumbnails Plugin” or “WP CLI media regenerate” command.

• You don’t have to compress images before uploading to WordPress.
  Warp iMagick plugin will do it for you and preserve your uploaded original image as source for multiple recompressions without ever over-compressing. Plugin default JPEG Compression Quality of 60% is good speed/quality compromise for most of the web sites. If not, choose your own compression/quality settings.
  

• After activation, settings you may want to change are JPEG Compression Quality and SharpenImage Sigma.
  Choose your compression quality from 30% to 95%. Sharpen Image from 0.5 to 1.5 Sigma. For the rest of the settings, use defaults or feel free to experiment and have fun with. 😇

• Generating WebP images is optional
  Plugin is perfectly usable without WebP, because it still has many advanced capabilities missing in WordPress original compression. Fastest serving of WebP images is achieved by your server which can be configured to deliver converted WebP instead of JPEG/PNG images. Serving WebP images requires manual (DIY) configuration of Apache .htaccess file (or NGinx configuration & restart). You will find instructions on how to configure server and deliver WebP images on the settings page. Click on HELP at the top right of the plugin SETTINGS PAGE.

• Improve your site performance, Google PageSpeed score and SEO ranking.
  By serving better compressed JPEG/PNG or WebP images. When generating WebP images is enabled, every JPEG and PNG media image or thumbnail found during image optimization process is converted to WebP and saved as copy with .webp extension added. Default PNG&JPEG to WebP images compression quality is 75% (configurable). In addition, JPEG to WebP compression quality can be set to use & follow compression quality set for JPEG images.

• Automatic image optimization to thumbnails and conversion to WebP images:
  No external service required. No limits in number or size of images. Compress better or keep higher image quality than WordPress does by default. Images will be automatically compressed on upload or on “regenerate thumbnails”. Uploaded image is always preserved in original state. Image Compression will always start from original image quality. You can’t “overoptimize”. Reoptimize existing images with “Regenerate Thumbnails plugin” single or batch process, or with “WP CLI media regenerate” command.

• Compatible with “WP CLI media regenerate” command and/or with “Regenerate Thumbnails” plugin.
  Important Note: Since WordPress 5.3, BIG JPEG images reduced to 2560×2560 (by “Big Image Size Threshold” feature) and then manually edited by user, on regenerate, will be restored back to original (unedited) version. User edited modifications will be lost, unless this plugin is used. See GitHub issue. Same bug/issue applies both to “WP CLI media regenerate” command and “Regenerate Thumbnails plugin”. To fix that bug/issue, install or upgrade Warp iMagick plugin to version 1.3.13 or above.

• Compatible up to PHP 7.4.9 and tested against coding standards.
  Tested with PHP_CodeSniffer (phpcs) using WordPress Coding Standards GitHub rules and PHPCompatibility rules.

• Warp-iMagick – Image Optimizer gives you full control over images, file size and quality in image optimization process.
  Images optimization is customizable with advanced image compression &amp optimization settings. See the plenty of options used to optimize images in the plugin Settings page.

• Multisite support
  Designed to work on WP multisite. No known reason to fail on WP multisite, but not extensively tested yet!

• Clean uninstall
  By default, no plugin settings are left in your database after uninstall. Feel free to install and activate to make a trial. However, you can choose to preserve plugin options after uninstall. For detailed uninstall info related to added WebP images, see the FAQ section below.

• Privacy
  Warp-iMagick plugin does not collect nor send any personally identifiable data from your server. WordPress builtin cookies are used to store admin-settings page-state.

• Known conflicts
  Due to use of bfi_thumb library which completely takes over wordpress WP_Image_Editor classes, in Ajax Search Lite plugin and in Circles Gallery plugin, Warp iMagick plugin will fail to activate while those plugins are active. Activating those plugins after Warp iMagick is activated, may cause malfunction.
