Product Description
WP Smush Pro is an image optimization plugin for WordPress that automatically compresses images to reduce file sizes and improve page loading performance. It processes images during upload and can bulk optimize existing media library images, all while maintaining visual quality through intelligent compression algorithms.
Image Optimization
Large, unoptimized images are a common cause of slow WordPress sites. Smush Pro addresses this by applying lossy or lossless compression to images, resizing oversized uploads to maximum dimensions, and converting images to more efficient formats like WebP when supported by the visitor's browser.
Optimization Features
- Automatic compression: Images are optimized automatically during upload with no manual intervention needed
- Bulk optimization: Process all existing media library images in batch for sites with large image collections
- WebP conversion: Convert images to WebP format for browsers that support it, with fallback for those that do not
- Lazy loading: Defer loading of off-screen images until visitors scroll to them, reducing initial page load time
CDN Integration
Smush Pro includes a CDN option that serves optimized images from a content delivery network, further reducing loading times by serving images from servers geographically closer to visitors.
