WordPress image optimization

Your images are slowing down your site.

Compresso optimizes every image on your WordPress site the moment it's uploaded. Nothing to configure. Nothing to break.

The problem

Heavy images are slowing your site down.

Every photo from your phone lands at full resolution. That's megabytes your visitors load before your page responds. Slow sites rank lower in Google and lose visitors before a word is read.

Your presets

Set it once. Apply it everywhere.

Every site has different needs. Create named presets for your blog posts, product shots, or any content type. Dial in JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and AVIF quality separately. Compresso applies it automatically from then on.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know before you install. Anything else, our team is one click away.

Will Compresso break my site?

No. It works at the WordPress media library level. Nothing changes in your theme, templates, or page builder. Deactivate it anytime and your site keeps running exactly as it is.

How is Compresso different from ShortPixel or Imagify?

Those tools charge per image, cap your monthly quota, and send your files to their cloud. Compresso runs on your own server, so you get unlimited images, no overages, and your media never leaves your host.

Will my images lose quality?

Not visibly. Defaults are tuned to strip bytes the human eye can't see, so most sites cut image weight 40–70% with no perceptible difference. Pro adds per-format sliders if you want finer control.

What happens to my original images?

Every original is backed up before compression. Restore any image in one click, or turn backups off to save disk space.

What's in the free version vs Pro?

Free handles JPEG and PNG compression plus bulk optimization of your existing library. Pro adds AVIF conversion, per-format presets, cloud backups to Drive or Dropbox, analytics, and priority support.

How does the Pro license work?

One annual fee, per site count: Starter (1 site), Business (3 sites), or Agency (unlimited). No per-image charges, no monthly quotas. 14 days to decide, full refund if it's not for you.
