Great compression & quality

    Shortpixel is a great plugin that does what it’s supposed to do, well.

    The only drawback if you’re using it with an large, already existing media library are:

    • No command line tool to run the optimizer outside of your normal web server process
    • No ability to select specific IDs to optimize, or at least limit it to posts that are published (we have hundreds of unpublished posts, and it would be helpful to prioritize the published ones)

    All in all, a fantastic service with great image quality.

    Hi,
    thanks for taking the time to review ShortPixel! 🙂

    We actually have a command line tool, please check
    https://shortpixel.com/cli-docs and https://shortpixel.com/api-tools
    Note though that currently the command line tool saves data inside files vs. ShortPixel plugin which saves data inside DB.

    As for your idea with prioritization: it is interesting, you’re the first one to suggest it, we’ll add it to our TODO list.
    Thank you so much 🙂

    Hey Alex,

    Thanks so much for that tip. That looks great for a standard WordPress install where all the media are in the wp-content/uploads directory, but we use S3 (and the Offload S3 Lite pluign) to manage our media on S3.

    Is there a way to bootstrap the WordPress codebase using wp cli to do something like wp media shortpixel {id1, id2, id3, etc} or wp media bulk-shortpixel.

    That would be fantastic for power users 🙂
