• Currently buggy for bulk-smushing existing images, but if you’ve got just one site or have the time, you can make it work by doing a (half?) page of images at a time. The other limitations are for any images over 1 MB, and the reliance on a remote server for the actual smushing.

    Great to use as-is for new sites or small sites that you’ll be adding images to.

    Hopefully we see WPMU soon refine the bulk functionality and move the compression locally.

  • WPMU is going to make the WP Smush.it plugin for pay users?or it still free? I currently have the bulk-smushing all image function, bugged.

    WP Smush.it is free for all users.

    in the future 5 or 4 years?
    😛
    Thanks for answer me!

    Hi @dnels22, thanks for your feedback on this. There are existing solutions for optimizing images locally though they require use of your server’s resources, which could potentially take down your site. This service alleviates your server from that extra strain by relying on Yahoo’s smush.it server.

    If you have ideas for improving the bulk functionality, please do feel free to post about that here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-smushit

    We’d love to take that into consideration. 🙂

    @thosandro, this free plugin will always remain free. We wouldn’t be able to guarantee that Yahoo’s service will always be available, but we’ll definitely look into ways of handling things should that become unavailable!

    Hope that helps!

    Just wanted to drop a quick update 🙂

    We’ve now done some huge enhancements, it no longer uses Yahoo’s services (they discontinued them). Bulk Smushing is no longer buggy, hopefully that will get us another star back 😉

    Take care.
