How do I automate image optimization in WordPress?

Automating image optimization streamlines your workflow and ensures consistent performance. Here’s how to set it up:

  • Install an automated optimization plugin like Imagify
  • Configure optimization settings (compression level, resize options, format conversion)
  • Enable automatic optimization for new uploads
  • Bulk optimize existing images

Imagify offers three compression levels: normal, aggressive, and ultra. It can automatically convert images to WebP, resize oversized images, and optimize images in bulk. For WordPress 6.0+, you can also use the Media Library to manage image sizes and optimization settings.

Consider setting up automated backups before bulk optimization to prevent any potential issues.
