How can I automatically resize and optimize images in WordPress?

Automatic image resizing and optimization in WordPress can be achieved through several methods:

  • Use the Imagify plugin for automatic optimization on upload
  • Configure maximum image dimensions in WordPress settings
  • Enable lazy loading for better performance

The Imagify plugin offers three compression levels (normal, aggressive, and ultra) and can automatically resize images to your preferred maximum dimensions. It also includes features like WebP conversion and bulk optimization for existing images.

Additionally, WordPress 6.0+ includes built-in lazy loading for images, but you can enhance this feature with plugins like a3 Lazy Load for more advanced options.
