Configure your preferred quality settings 5. Click **Start Bulk Optimization** to optimize existing images ## FAQ ### Does this plugin require an API key? No. All optimization happens locally on your server using GD or ImageMagick. ### Will it slow down my uploads? The optimization adds a small amount of processing time per image (typically under 1 second). For most sites, this is imperceptible. ### Does it work with Nginx? Image optimization works on any server. However, automatic WebP/AVIF serving via. htaccess requires Apache with mod_rewrite. For Nginx, you’ll need to add rewrite rules manually. ### Can I re-optimize images? Yes! Use the “Re-optimize All” button to clear optimization data and run bulk optimization again with new settings. ### What happens when I uninstall? All plugin data (settings and optimization metadata) is cleanly removed. Your original images and any generated WebP/AVIF files remain untouched. ### Is it compatible with WooCommerce / Elementor / WoodMart? Yes. Pixonix Local Image Optimizer works with all themes and page builders that use the standard WordPress media library. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Pixonix Local Image Optimizer” is open source software.
