## Description

Sali Media Optimizer is a lightweight, all-in-one media converter and compression
plugin. Acting as a high-performance WebP converter and WebM converter, it automatically
converts image uploads to WebP or AVIF, and video uploads to WebM. It reduces file
sizes by up to 80% with zero visible quality loss, optimizing your WordPress media
library for speed and SEO.

#### Key Features

 * **Automatic Conversion:** Converts newly uploaded images to WebP/AVIF and video
   uploads (MP4/MOV/AVI) to WebM.
 * **Auto-Resize on Upload:** Set maximum dimensions (e.g. 2048px) to automatically
   downscale huge camera images before compression.
 * **Performance Benchmark:** Diagnostic benchmark tool to measure local compression
   speeds of PHP GD, Imagick, and cloud fallback.
 * **CDN URL Rewriter:** Rewrite frontend asset domains to bunnycdn, cloudflare,
   or bunny.net.
 * **Smart HTML Fallback:** Rewrites HTML tags to use `<picture>` falling back to
   original JPG/PNG files on older browsers.
 * **Background WP-Cron Sync:** Bulk optimize your pre-existing media assets periodically
   in the background.

### External services

This plugin uses the reSmush.it external service for cloud-based image optimization
when local tools (GD or Imagick) are unavailable or disabled.

 * **Service Description:** reSmush.it is a free cloud image optimization service
   used here to compress and optimize images.
 * **Data Transmitted:** When local optimization fails or is not supported, the 
   plugin transmits the raw image file and compression quality setting to the reSmush.
   it API.
 * **Service Terms & Privacy:**
