Some users including myself, have Fatal errors with this plugin. We can’t delete
media files without disabling the plugin first. The support log show no answer for
more than a month and the last update was 3 months ago. I can be wrong but I presume
this plugin is dead. Shame, I liked this plugin. And I suspect that one 5 star rating
was not a real rating.

English Review This plugin delivers everything it promises and more. It efficiently
converts images directly in the Media Library, including all thumbnails, which is
a major plus for performance optimization. The converted WebP images used on the
site do not break or cause display issues, ensuring a smooth user experience. The
conversion process is seamless and integrates well with WordPress, making image 
management hassle-free. If you’re aiming to speed up your site and reduce image 
load times, this plugin is definitely a solid choice. Avaliação em Português Este
plugin cumpre tudo o que promete e ainda vai além. Ele converte as imagens diretamente
na Biblioteca de Mídia, incluindo as thumbnails, o que é um grande diferencial para
otimização de desempenho. As imagens WebP geradas e usadas no site não apresentam
quebras nem problemas de exibição, garantindo uma experiência de usuário tranquila.
O processo de conversão é eficiente e se integra perfeitamente ao WordPress, facilitando
o gerenciamento das imagens sem complicações. Se você deseja melhorar a velocidade
do site e reduzir o tempo de carregamento das imagens, este plugin é uma excelente
opção.

I have tried dozens of image compressor plugins and most of them had fallen to the
subscription model. That’s strange given that compression is not a resource-intensive
task. This plugin brings back the true spirit of WordPress. It’s simple, intuitive,
and free for everyone. It’s so good, I even made a video for this plugin.
