## Description

Slimify compresses JPEG and PNG uploads on your server using pngquant, MozJPEG, 
jpegoptim, and Imagick. Optional WebP siblings are created when smaller than the
final image.

 * Local tooling only — no third-party API, accounts, or telemetry
 * Compress on upload, restore from originals, and bulk-process the library
 * Private originals storage under uploads with nginx/Apache deny patterns
 * Works with common offload plugins via filters
