 * When I upload images through wordpress admin I use pluing image optimizers. But
   in the front end when the user uploads the images the images are not optimized.(
   Tinypng, smushit) This is a big problem because the tendency is for the server
   to get bloated because of the size of the images.
    The front end also ignores
   the instruction to use the amazon S3 bucket.

 * Hello Ayron,
 * Unfortunately we can’t predict what image-optimizer plugin all users work with.
   
   Improve My City plugin uses two different wordpress thumbs: 1) In grid mode: 
   the_post_thumbnail( array(480, 480) ) 2) In list mode: the_post_thumbnail( array(
   200, 200) )
 * In order to use any optimizer with IMC, check if the above thumbs are optimized
   correctly.

 * The optimization works well if the image is inserted in the back end (admin),
   but in practice, being used in the front end the system loads the full image,
   which can be a problem for the server that proposes to receive large files of
   all citizens a city.
