Hi @kentog,
Since the wp-content/uploads/ folder is the default WP folder the images you have stored in there from your media library would be optimized when you use Bulk Smush from Smush > Dashboard > Bulk Smush panel.
If you’re looking to optimize images in a specific folder you can use Smush > Dashboard > Directory Smush option.
If this doesn’t help please provide us a bit more information on which images exactly are you looking to optimize and how the folder that stores them was crated.
Cheers,
Predrag

Hi @kentog
Those /upload/2021 are the images located at WordPress > Media Library.
It seems all are the Full-Size image, for example, if it was a thumbnail the URL would look like:
https://safetyment.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/7-150×150.jpg
By default, Smush Free only compress the thumbnails versions and the original image ( Full size ) can be compressed only using Smush Pro.
