Smart Compression

Smart Compression applies different strategies to different images.

how smart compression works

Different image sizes are treated differently

CompressX Pro automatically adjusts compression behavior based on image dimensions, instead of applying a single quality level to all images. Read more…

Supporting lines:

  • Smaller images keep more visual detail
  • Medium images balance quality and file size
  • Larger images receive stronger compression to reduce weight
designed for woocommerce stores

Built for WooCommerce Stores

On top of size-based compression rules, CompressX Pro lets you define specific compression levels for WooCommerce image types.

This allows key product images to stay visually sharp, while secondary images are optimized more aggressively.

  • Featured product images can keep higher visual quality.
  • Gallery and variation images balance clarity and file size.
  • Category and listing thumbnails prioritize performance.

Media Replace Pro

The Free version is already powerful — it safely replaces images, regenerates thumbnails, and applies optimization automatically.

If you need more control and smarter optimization, the Pro version adds:

  • Smart Image Optimization applied automatically to the new media
  • Intelligent compression based on image content and usage
  • Temporary version retention after replacement for rollback and safety

Why Your Site Needs Smart Compression

(With Aware- & Size-Aware Image Compression)

Smart Compression Benefits Large Images

By applying higher compression where it matters most, Smart Compression reduces image weight more effectively and improves loading performance without unnecessary quality loss.

Different Images Serve Different Purposes

Smart Compression lets you apply role-specific rules, ensuring each image is optimized based on what it does, not just how big it is.

🎯Advanced Compression Rules

Better balance = better performance

Basic rules only

It compresses all images the same way. One-size-fits-all means you risk wasting space or ending up with blurry product photos.

Smart Compression Rules

Images are compressed based on their size and role, not with a single fixed setting.
Large images are reduced more aggressively, while important visuals keep higher quality for faster loading without unnecessary loss.

⚡Bulk Optimization

Automated. Hands-free. No more babysitting.

Basic bulk processing in dashboard

Bulk optimization works, but you must keep the browser tab open for hours — slow and dependent on your time.

Bulk processing in the background

Let CompressX handle thousands of images while you focus on higher-value work. No tab-watching, no interruptions.

💻WP-CLI

Bulk optimization — up to 10× faster

Bulk optimization in PHP UI

Runs inside PHP, slower, and limited by execution time.

WP-CLI bulk processing

Run optimizations directly from the server — bypass PHP limits and process thousands of images in minutes.

🗑️Remove The Original Images

Free your server space — keep only optimized formats

Originals always kept

After converting to WebP/AVIF, JPG/PNG files stay, taking up the same space as before.

Keep only optimized formats

Remove originals automatically and keep only WebP/AVIF — typically 40–80% smaller, freeing up to 50% or more of your storage.
