Good job I was an early investor of EWWW LTD when it came out in 2021, unlimited sites. The creator is a nice bloke as well. Thanks for the comparison. But like you say, a few sporadic images here and there, don't be lazy, do it yourself.
The only reason for me to use a plugin for image optimisation would be, if the plugin also serves the right image type based on browser specification. Avif or WebP is the best solution for page performance, but we still have oldies visiting websites and ignoring them could result in angry clients. You have to know the audience and decide individually for each project.
Good. I propose to use bulkresizephotos and an automation tool like uivision or power automate desktop. The automation tool will help resize bulk images.
Unfortunately my "Bulk Resize Photos" does not reduce a 2MB image to something close like a 31kb WEBP image file. I do get something like 770kb. No idea why... I tried even to reduce the image size to 50% but still get over 400kb WEBP out of the JPG. Hmmmm.... any idea?
In general yes, if you care for size and speed. But sometimes if your jpg are also optimized, the difference can be minuscule also some exotic browsers might not support webp.
@@mzcorner Thanks. I do try to optimize my image files before uploading, but they don't get as small as the examples in Imran's video. I will delve into this a bit further. Thanks for the reply.
@@websquadron One more question please when we upload an image it goes to the Directory CPanel but we cant see it in Media will EWWW helps us to optimize the directory image or it should be in the Admin Dashboard Media ?

Couldn't agree more!
I hope your parents are proud of you. You're great at this!!!
I make the images the size they're supposed to be and then I webp/optimize them by compression but not by size, it works out pretty well.
Love your background (the digital frames)
Awesome tips man, great work!

I'm familiar with EWWW, great to see your comparison to other options.

Hmmmm.... email me the PNG image, or was it a JPG that was 2MB? info@websquadron.co.uk
What are the dimensions of the image? 1920 x 1080?
@@websquadron it was a jpg. And the width is around 2500px. Does it compress jpg that much worse?
I’m a bit of a newb, should I be using WEBP for the images I upload to my site instead of jpeg?
Check what happens when you convert as small JPG can be smaller than WebP - so check with bulkresizephotos.com/en

@@websquadron Thank you, I will do that.

if i use Cloudflare cdn, do i need to do all of this? because I believe that CDN can convert all your images to WebP.
Best way to double check is assess the page with images and see if it passes the next ten test
Can vouch for the software recommended. Use them both
EWWW is also available as a free version!
Thanks Imran Very good compression, if we installed the EWWW plugin will it optimize the current media?
Absolutely!

What about imagify?
Did consider that - and may do an updated version soon.
Please do. I use Imagify and pay for the unlimited version so would be nice to see if my £100 a year is worth it
