WP Smush.it

Reduce image file sizes and improve performance using the Smush.it API within WordPress.

Download Version 1.5.0

Yahoo's excellent Exceptional Performance series recommends optimizing images in several lossless ways:

  • stripping meta data from JPEGs
  • optimizing JPEG compression
  • converting certain GIFs to indexed PNGs
  • stripping the un-used colours from indexed images

Smush.it offers an API that performs these optimizations (except for stripping JPEG meta data) automatically, and this plugin seamlessly integrates Smush.it with WordPress.

How does it work?

Every image you add to a page or post will be automatically run through Smush.it behind the scenes. You don’t have to do anything different.

Existing images

You can also run your existing images through Smush.it via the WordPress Media Library. Click on the Smush.it now! link for any image you'd like to smush.

As of version 1.4.0 there is a new, experimental Bulk Smush.it feature. You can find the link under the Media Library tab.
