It helps reduce storage, improve image delivery, rebuild thumbnails after theme or migration changes, and run large jobs from WP-CLI. Benefits for WordPress users: * Find unused Media Library images with a safe dry scan before deletion. * Protect images used in Elementor, post content, featured images, WooCommerce galleries, widgets, theme/plugin options, SEO fields, and more. * Regenerate thumbnails after theme changes, imports, migrations, or image-size updates. * Remove old generated thumbnail files while keeping original/main images. * Convert images to WebP or AVIF for better performance. * Rewrite image URLs across posts, post meta, Elementor data, and options after conversion. * Run image cleanup, thumbnail, and conversion tasks from WP-CLI. The admin screen is available under Media > Image Optimizer. ### WP-CLI Commands Image cleaner: ``` wp webangon-image-optimizer clean wp webangon-image-optimizer clean --older-than=30 wp webangon-image-optimizer clean --deep-meta wp webangon-image-optimizer clean --include-revisions wp webangon-image-optimizer clean --skip-options wp webangon-image-optimizer clean --batch=200 wp webangon-image-optimizer clean --delete wp webangon-image-optimizer clean --delete --yes ``` Thumbnail regeneration: ``` wp webangon-image-optimizer thumbnails regenerate wp webangon-image-optimizer thumbnails regenerate --sizes=thumbnail,medium,large wp webangon-image-optimizer thumbnails regenerate --delete-old wp webangon-image-optimizer thumbnails regenerate --from-original wp webangon-image-optimizer thumbnails regenerate --ids=12,34,56 wp webangon-image-optimizer thumbnails regenerate --dry-run ``` Thumbnail purge: ``` wp webangon-image-optimizer thumbnails purge wp webangon-image-optimizer thumbnails purge --backups wp webangon-image-optimizer thumbnails purge --ids=12,34,56 wp webangon-image-optimizer thumbnails purge --dry-run wp webangon-image-optimizer thumbnails purge --yes ``` WebP / AVIF conversion: ``` wp webangon-image-optimizer convert --format=webp --quality=82 wp webangon-image-optimizer convert --format=avif --quality=70 wp webangon-image-optimizer convert --format=webp --quality=82 --delete-old wp webangon-image-optimizer convert --format=webp --regen wp webangon-image-optimizer convert --ids=12,34,56 --format=webp wp webangon-image-optimizer convert --format=webp --skip-rewrite wp webangon-image-optimizer convert --format=webp --rewrite-only wp webangon-image-optimizer convert --format=webp --dry-run wp webangon-image-optimizer convert --format=webp --quality=82 --yes ``` Recommended Workflow 1. Take a full file and database backup. 2. Run Image Cleaner in dry scan mode before deleting anything. 3. Regenerate thumbnails after changing theme image sizes or after imports/migrations. 4. Convert to WebP first for broad compatibility, or AVIF when the hosting stack supports it. 5. Test important pages, Elementor templates, product galleries, and image-heavy pages after conversion. ## Installation 1. Upload the `webangon-image-optimizer` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate Webangon Image Optimizer from the Plugins screen. 3. Go to Media > Image Optimizer. ## FAQ ### Does this replace the three separate image plugins? Yes. It combines image cleanup, thumbnail regeneration, and WebP/AVIF conversion into one plugin. ### Should I delete files immediately? No. Run dry scans first and keep a full backup before using destructive actions. ### Does AVIF work on every server? No. AVIF conversion requires PHP GD support for `imageavif()`. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Webangon Image Optimizer” is open source software.
