Does SG Optimizer replace Shortpixel?

Yes, you don’t need to use another image optimization plugin since you have SGO.

Thank you Hristo.

I just deactivated Shortpixel and left SGO ??

I have got 1 more question but it is about specific images of my homepage who are not served as WEBP ans slow down the page a lot.
May I ask in this thread?

Thank you

Yeah but if I can try to predict your question – we create webp copies of images that are in the Media Library. Those that don’t have copies are usually hard-coded ones by the theme. Solution is to add them to the media library. I have personally used this plugin – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/media-sync/ run it once, add missing images to the library and remove it. Then you can bulk generate webp files ??

Thank you Hristo,

that’s very interesting. I think I am so close to the solution.

I tried media-sync and I understand what you suggest which I was eager to do.
However, apart from finding many files which are not images (.css, .ico, etc), it also finds .webp files.

I reckon I should leave this too and just import all the .PNG and .JPG files. Is that correct?
Importing the .webps to the media library would just clog the library, wouldn’t it?

Thank you

Hi again Hristo,

eventually I did import only .jpg and png and did exactly like you suggested and worked like a charm! Thanks
I’ll be waiting for your suggestion about the the other extensions.

I would like to clarify 1 more point about the SG optimizer’s optimization features.
Would you say it’s better lossy or lossless? If lossy, which percentage?
The website at the moment has a good mix of jpg and png images.

Thank you
Fabrizio
