# Plugin adding ”optimized” to file names

 * Whenever I upload a new image and look at it through media gallery the file name
   is fine. However when I use the inspect tool on my browser I can see that the
   plugin adds the word ”optimized” to the images in the file name. For SEO purposes
   this is not optimal. Is there a way I can disable that?
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@newuser33](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newuser33/),
 * Thank you for your message.
 * You used the “Bypassing Nginx” mode as Image loading mode in the plugin settings(
   in the Advanced Settings tab), right? In this mode, the “-optimized” suffix is
   added. Please set the default recommended value and the suffix will not be added.
 * Best,
    Mateusz

 * Looks like I’m getting a server error unfortunately. ”It appears that the requests
   for images on your website are being processed by the Nginx server, bypassing
   Apache.”
