Empeeryal Optimize
A lightweight, server-side image optimization engine built for high-performance WordPress stacks.
Why I built this
Most image plugins (Smush, Imagify) require you to send your images to their cloud servers for processing. This introduces latency, privacy risks, and monthly fees. Empeeryal Optimize runs entirely on your own VPS using standard PHP libraries (GD or ImageMagick).
Technical Capabilities
- Local Processing: Uses `Imagick` or `GD` to compress images instantly upon upload.
- Next-Gen Formats: Auto-converts JPG/PNG to WebP or AVIF.
- Self-Healing HTML: Dynamically rewrites frontend HTML to serve the optimized format while keeping the database clean.
- Backup & Restore: Keeps the original file safe in a protected directory.
Need this level of performance?
I don’t sell this plugin publicly, but I install it for all my custom development clients.
