# Crazy talk – Image Optimizer

 * So, I have tons if not most of my images on my blog without optimization. So 
   I think Google is penalizing me because of my slow speeds. Infact, I don’t even
   show in Google, and I think it’s due to my slow speeds, `www.droptodesign.com`
 * I have wp-cache and some image optimization through pro photo, but when I run
   Google page speed, it constantly comes back with suggestions to optimize images
   especially in my galleries.
 * So here is the crazy idea I have, there’s software for the mac [https://imageoptim.com/howto.html](https://imageoptim.com/howto.html)
   It optimizes in bulk.
 * So would it be possible to download all my images from WordPress via ftp, optimize
   them using the software and the re-upload them to WordPress via FTP?
 * Thank you in advance.

 * You can use ImageOptim, and I usually use that before uploading my images. However,
   I suggest a much easier solution. There are WordPress plugins that will do that
   for you.
 * The two I recommend are:
    [EWWW Image Optimizer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/)
   and [Smush Image Compression and Optimization](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/).
 * Both allow you to optimize all of your images in your WordPress site. EWWW can
   be started from Media > Bulk Optimize and it will scan all images and optimize
   them for you. WP Smush will optimize them in batches of 50 I believe, and paying
   for the premium version will do them all at once.

 * Hi Gilmoursa,
 * Thank you for your response. I looked into WP Smush, but it was a WP Suite subscription.
   I tested my theory out and it seems to work. I’ll look at EWWWW Image Optimizer.
   I don’t think I knew of that one. Thanks so much for taking time out to help 
   me today.
