How can I bulk optimize existing images in WordPress?

To bulk optimize your existing WordPress images, follow these methods:

  • Use a Plugin: Install Imagify or EWWW Image Optimizer for bulk optimization
  • Compress Multiple Formats: These plugins can handle JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats
  • Maintain Quality: Set compression levels that balance size reduction with visual quality
  • Monitor Results: Track optimization statistics and storage savings

Both recommended plugins offer free tiers and can automatically optimize new uploads. They also provide options to restore original images if needed. Remember to backup your media library before performing bulk optimization.
