Hey, guys, we're excited to release a plug-in for WordPress. Make your website faster by compressing your new and existing WordPress image uploads.
Features:
* 500 compressions per month free.
* JPEG and PNG images supported
* Plugin optimizes images uploaded to the Media Library on-the-fly. All generated thumbnails are optimized too.
* Intelligent lossy compression, so resulting image is visually identical to the original.

@dmitry_osipa Interested to check this out - what happens if you have a long established site and therefore have a lot of images on the free account does it only optimise images going forward or can you configure it for past images using the WordPress plugin? Thanks

@krishnade by default, the plugin will compress only new uploads, but it can optimize all images in the media library on demand.

@dmitry_osipa Thanks - and will it therefore just tell you how many images you have if you have no idea as it is a long established site but want all images optimising?

@krishnade right now the plugin doesn't tell this. We will add the estimate in future updates.
Right now you can estimate how many transformations you will need. Here's how:
* One image in the media library may require ~4-5 transformations because Wordpress generates ~4-5 thumbnails for each uploaded image. * Each of the thumbnails may need to be compressed.
* The actual number of thumbnails depends on the theme and installed plugins. But in average, you will need not more than 5 transformations per each uploaded image.
So, for example, you have 100 pictures in the WordPress. The plugin will use maximum 500 actions to compress all the images.

@dmitry_osipa @pixpie Wonder why you went with number of compressions instead of bandwidth. I pay $8.99 for 2GB bandwidth (approx 20,000 compressions) on Imagify

@rajupp we're considering this pricing model in the future too. Currently we designed pricing model be cheaper than Cloudinary and TinyPNG

@dmitry_osipa would be great if you can do that. Currently, I have around 10 thumbnails per image, so this model won't work out
