Images can transform your page content into an engaging experience. Images enhance a blog post, make it more sharable, and set the tone and brand of your entire site.
EWWW Image optimizer a free plugin for WordPress to optimize images for the website, after images been uploaded to your server.
The best thing with EWWW image optimizer is that it doesn’t send the image off-site for optimization. But uses utilities on your own server to compress and optimize images for the blog.
Everything is done locally so the process is fast, privacy and ownership are maintained. The biggest advantage I found was that the bulk optimization of images works fast and always completed without any error.
Once you upload your images to your website, the plugin will optimize the images automatically. It can also optimize images, which have been already uploaded on your site.
This plugin also has the option to automatically change the image file format to produce smaller images (but there are some warning from the author so make sure to read the FAQs)
EWWW Image optimization uses a lossless optimization technique. Your image quality remains unchanged, only thing changes are the file size, smaller size.
The one small exception to this is GIF animations. While the optimization is technically lossless, you will not be able to properly edit the animation again without performing an –unoptimized operation with gifsicle.
Why I prefer EWWW image optimizer, to optimize images for website, for the reason that this plugin calls optimization utilities directly which is well suited for shared hosting.
As these utilities may already be installed on the server. Because of this, the process of optimizing images for a website is fast. Bulk image optimization works well since its processed within the server itself.
Why Optimize Images for Website?
Your pages will load faster. Smaller image sizes mean faster page loads. This will make your visitors happy, and can increase ad revenue.
Smaller image sizes also mean faster backups.
Optimizing your images can save you hundreds of KB per image, which means significantly less bandwidth usage.
Because it runs on your own server, you don’t have to wait for a third-party service to receive, process, and return your images. You can optimize hundreds of images in just a few minutes. PNG files take the longest, but you can adjust the settings for your situation.
Better PNG optimization. You can use pngout and optipng in conjunction.
Root access not needed Pre-compiled binaries are made available to install directly within the WordPress folder. If you are optimizing images ! which plugin do you prefer to optimize images for the website ? Share with us.

I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else experiencing issues with your blog. It seems like some of the text within your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too? This might be a problem with my browser because I’ve had this happen before.
