Compress images smaller than 1 Mb

    Hi all!

    WP only compresses uploaded images larger than 1 megabyte.
    How do I tell it to compress every image on upload?

    All content is user generated. They upload photos that are 2 – 4 Mb to posts and comments.
    All of this gets compressed by LiteSpeed.

    But, a lot of the images are screenshots, which can be hundreds of Kbs and pass uncompressed.
    How do I change this?

    You mean how to make WordPress to compress image smaller than 1MB ?

    qtwrk thank you for answering.

    No.
    WP compresses images larger than 1MB to around 100 KB.
    But, if the image is smaller than 1MB, it doesn’t compress it.
    So, if a 900 KB image is uploaded, it will add the image to the database untouched.

    At least, that’s how it’s working currently on my website.

    okay….?

    but shouldn’t that to be a WordPress core feature issue, instead of LiteSpeed Cache plugin-related issue…?

    You’re right. My mistake.

    Since I was using LiteSpeed Cache to set up the compression, I assumed that this was also a function of that plugin.
    But, when I installed a different image compression plugin, the issue was still there.

    Thank you for your help. Sorry for the confusion.
