Image Comparism Side By SIde, Batch number

Both of these are good product suggestions — thanks for thinking it through.

On the side-by-side image comparison: there isn’t one today, and I agree it’d be genuinely useful — a sample test run that shows the original and the AVIF next to each other with their file sizes, so you can judge quality vs. savings before committing to a quality setting. It’s a proper feature rather than a quick tweak, so I’m putting it on the roadmap for a dedicated release rather than rushing it.

On the batch number: you’re right that the setting is capped at 20, but it’s worth knowing that number is more of a soft ceiling than a hard throughput limit. The plugin already sizes each batch adaptively — it estimates per-image memory cost against your server’s available RAM and processing time, takes the safest of those, and automatically scales the batch down mid-run if it gets close to a timeout or memory pressure. So in practice the engine self-tunes regardless of whether you set 3 or 20.

That said, I’ll raise the configurable ceiling to 50 (which matches the internal safety limit) in an upcoming release, with a note in the UI explaining the auto-throttling. I’d hold off going higher than that — beyond 50 would mean removing the memory/timeout safeguards, which is where things start crashing on shared hosting. 50 with adaptive sizing underneath is the sweet spot between throughput and not blowing up a site.

Appreciate the detailed feedback.
